Radiography (Degree Completion) (2254)
Creating competent, ethical, confident entry-level health care practitioners committed to professional development through life-long learning in a positive, non-discriminatory and supportive learning environment.
Graduates of non-college credit educational programs often find an A.S. degree is helpful in addition to their professional credentials, particularly when interested in pursuing a career in management, education or sales.

- Furnish proof of completion of a radiographic technology program, and proof of attainment of the ARRT credential.
- Via student affairs, ensure they are degree–seeking and majoring in Radiography (2254).

The American Registry of
Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) will determine a Radiography program graduate’s eligibility for credentialing when there is an
arrest/conviction record. Convicted felons must pre–apply to the ARRT to determine eligibility. Students should contact the ARRT at
651.687.0048 between the hours of 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. (EST) for questions concerning eligibility requirements. The ARRT must declare the
student eligible before the student enrolls in the Radiography program.
Most clinical agencies require students to undergo drug screen and criminal background checks prior to
placement in the agencies for clinical experiences. Students whose drug screening and criminal background checks are
deemed unsatisfactory may be denied access to clinical experiences by the clinical agencies. Failure to qualify for and
meet clinical requirements at clinical sites may prevent completion of the program. Withdrawal from the program may be
necessary if students cannot be placed for clinical experiences.
The cost of the background check and drug screen is borne by the student. Additionally, it is the
student’s responsibility to have all paperwork completed by the program’s published deadline.
Students who are
unable to complete the clinical requirements after acceptance into selective access programs are not eligible for refunds of
tuition.
