Selection Process
The process of selection includes a review of the completed applicant file and the personal interview
score(s). Each applicant is ranked according to qualifications, with the highest qualified being number one
(1). Qualified applicants not included in the selected class number may be placed on the Alternate List.

The highest qualified alternate is ranked number one (1) and so on. Alternates are notified by rank
number if space becomes available in the class. Alternates are strongly encouraged to keep their file
active by contacting the Program Director and obtaining academic advice. Alternate status does not
guarantee the applicant a future position in the next entering class or any future class. The alternate should
contact the Program Director before the March 1st deadline of the next new year and request that the file
be kept active, and submit a new application. If time since last inquiry is greater than one (1) calendar
year, the individual must update the file as requested by the school.

Applicants selected for entry are notified by email, and an Acceptance Letter and Registration Form are
mailed to the address on file. Applicants are expected to notify the school of intent to register by
returning the Registration Form and placement fee to the school prior to registration date. All newly
accepted student radiographers must also have completed the “Healthcare Provider CPR Course” at
American Heart Association’s Standards before school starts. Selected applicants not registering, who
seek admission at a later date, have no preferential status and shall be reconsidered for selection at the
same time as new applicants for the next class to enter.

For selected applicants, Immunization and Tuberculin Testing information can be found in the Applicant
and Admission information section of the Catalog and the General Section of the Student Handbook.

Note: Eligibility for American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) certification requires that
the applicant be of good moral character. Conviction of a misdemeanor or felony or a violation of an
academic honor code may forfeit an applicant’s eligibility to take the certification examination. The
ARRT conducts a thorough review on all convictions to determine their impact on eligibility.
Documentation required for a review includes a written personal explanation and court records to certify
the conviction, the sentence, and completion of the sentence. Candidates may submit a pre-application
form to have the impact of convictions on eligibility evaluated. Pre-application forms may be requested
by writing to: ARRT, Department of Regulatory Services, 1255 Northland Drive, St. Paul, MN 55120-
1155 or by calling (612) 687-0048 or log onto their web site at www.arrt.org.
