  • Application Process (Click the link to get started)
  • Attend a mandatory meeting in January

General Education/Support Courses

The Radiologic Technology associate degree includes two types of courses: Radiologic Technology (Rad Tech) courses and General Education courses.

• Rad Tech courses can only be taken after a student is officially accepted into the program.
• General Education courses may be taken before starting the program or while enrolled in the program.

All General Education courses must be completed with a minimum grade of “C” or higher to count toward the degree.

For students who complete General Education courses while enrolled in the program, the chart below lists the deadlines by which each course must be finished.

General Education courses do not need to be finished before starting the Radiologic Technology program, but taking some or all of these courses early can improve the chance of admission to the program.

An observation day in a hospital Imaging Department is not required. However, completing an observation and turning in documentation can also help an application stand out.

All students accepted into a CCBC health care program must complete the general requirements listed in the first dropdown on this page, called Health Sciences Program Requirements.

Program Entrance Not Guaranteed

Successful admission and completion of CCBC ‘s Health Sciences program does not guarantee state or national licensure or registration to practice. Additional state or national criteria may be required to obtain various licenses and/or certifications.

Note: The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists may refuse, suspend, or revoke any license where the organization finds the applicant has not satisfied the Rules of Ethics. They include, but are not limited to:

• Felony or misdemeanor charges or convictions (including speeding tickets and parking violations that are considered misdemeanors or felonies)
• Charges or convictions concerning traffic violations that involved drugs or alcohol
• Convictions in a military court-martial
• Violations of state or federal narcotics or controlled substance laws, even if not charged or convicted
• Disciplinary actions concerning a professional license, permit, registration, or certification
• Violations of an honor code at an educational institution attended to meet ARRT certification and registration requirements

Offenses committed as a juvenile and adjudicated through the juvenile court system need not be reported.

Re-Entry Requirements

There may be circumstances in which a student must leave the program before completion and readmit the following year. The number of readmissions to the Radiologic Technology Program (inclusive of all levels) will be limited to a maximum of one (1) per applicant, in addition to the initial matriculation. Readmission is decided on an individual basis. All requests for readmission must be made in writing.

Students who are not successful or withdraw from the program and do not put the request for readmission on their withdrawal document to the Didactic Coordinator must reapply to the program. The student will be ranked by admission criteria with all other applicants.

Placement for re-entry into the Radiologic Technology Program will be on a space-available basis. All students re-entering the program must register for the Clinical Practice course offered for the semester the student is returning, regardless of successful completion at the time of withdrawal or not. This will be at the student’s expense.

Program Progression

All applicants enrolled in the Rad Tech program must achieve:

• A QPA of 2.0 or greater (only those courses that are included in the Rad Tech curriculum will be considered in determining QPA)
• A grade of “C” or greater in all courses required in the Rad Tech program
• Satisfactory clinical performance
• Satisfactory completion of support courses

Transfer Students

Transfer students will be considered on an individual basis with guidance and direction from the Dean of Health Sciences. If approved, placement is on a space-available basis.

Program Policies

Rad Tech students are assigned to a variety of clinical agencies for clinical practice. They must assume all responsibilities for transportation to and from the agencies they are assigned. A student must earn a grade of “C” or greater in all courses in the Rad Tech program to continue in the program. A student who performs unsatisfactorily in the clinical laboratory will automatically fail the respective course/rotation regardless of all other Rad Tech course grades that semester. All students requesting to return to the program must follow the re-entry procedure, which is dependent on space availability.
