assigned to another clinical area.

Academics
Academic Progress
Didactic lecture periods are held at specific intervals during the calendar week. In general,
lecture hours are scheduled in the afternoon. The morning hours are spent in acquiring the
practical aspect of the profession in clinical education. This is performed under the direction of
Radiologists and Radiographers in the Radiology Department. Each professional Radiographer
takes an active interest in the student’s professional development and does everything possible to
maximize student learning and clinical performance.

Students are required to attend all scheduled classroom sessions. If delayed by more than five (5)
minutes he/she must report to the Program Director as soon as possible. The class is considered
to be dismissed if the instructor does not appear within fifteen (15) minutes. Class schedules are
posted weekly on the school’s classroom bulletin board, and throughout the Radiology
Department.

Students are required to:

Maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00, and at least a minimum grade of “C” (77%) in all
educational components. Failure to do so, may result in academic suspension or dismissal.

Maintain a minimum clinical grade of “C” or better in clinical education. Students must acquire
the expected level of clinical competency in the various Radiographic categories taught
throughout the two (2) year program. Clinical evaluations are monitored weekly. If the
evaluation is lower than required, counseling and assistance is given by one or more individuals,
as appropriate, including the clinical instructor, staff, radiographer, Program Director, or school
counselor. Counseling sessions are documented and placed in the student’s record. Evaluations
are calculated at the end of each semester and shared with the student. A student not fulfilling the
preceding requirements is counseled by the Program Director and may be administratively
withdrawn from the program.

A student demonstrating progressive development in a clinical component promotes to the next
level or course of study.

Attendance, Method of Delivery and Clinical Policies
The program is a residential program of study. A student is expected to attend all scheduled
classes and clinical rotations. Attendance in both didactic and clinical components are factored in
to the clinical grade. Excessive absences and tardiness are made-up according to established
policies published in the Student Handbook. These policies are available in the Student
Handbook, which is accessible from the college website (www.bhclr.edu).
