Review program policies for the Radiologic Sciences program, including technical standards, student work guidelines, health and immunization requirements, and background screening.
The Department of Radiologic Sciences provides education and clinical training in diagnostic medical imaging. The program prepares students to perform imaging procedures safely, deliver patient-centered care, and meet professional standards in radiologic technology.
Students complete rigorous coursework alongside hands-on clinical training to develop technical competency, clinical judgment, and professional conduct required in healthcare settings.
The policies below outline the requirements and expectations for students enrolled in the Radiologic Sciences program.
Medical imaging education requires the development of specialized knowledge, technical competency, and professional behavior. Students must demonstrate the physical, cognitive, and behavioral abilities necessary to safely perform imaging procedures and provide patient care in clinical environments.
Technical standards outline the essential abilities required for successful participation in both the academic and clinical components of the program.
The Radiologic Technology program is academically rigorous and requires a significant time commitment for coursework, laboratory instruction, and clinical training.
Because of these demands, students are strongly discouraged from maintaining employment while enrolled in the program. Balancing outside work with the program’s academic and clinical responsibilities may impact academic performance and the ability to meet program requirement.
Students enrolled in the Radiologic Sciences program must meet specific health and immunization requirements prior to the start of each academic year.
All required health documentation and immunization records must be submitted by the designated deadlines. Students who do not provide the required documentation, or who fail to meet submission deadlines, will not be permitted to begin coursework or clinical training.
These requirements help ensure a safe learning environment and protect the health of patients, students, faculty, and clinical partners.
A criminal background check is required as part of the student screening process for the Radiologic Sciences program.
The purpose of this screening is to promote a safe and secure environment for students, faculty, staff, patients, and community partners. Background checks help assess potential risks and support the protection of people, property, and sensitive information within clinical and educational settings.
Additional screening requirements, including drug testing, may be required by affiliated clinical training sites.
