  2. Have a minimum 2.50 cumulative grade point average (GPA) for all college course work (including transfer work and excluding developmental courses) and be in good academic standing
  3. Complete required prerequisite courses for the program with a minimum grade of 鈥淐鈥� or higher in each course prior to fall entry
  4. Submit an official transcript showing successful completion of a Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT) approved Associate Degree Program in Radiologic Technology

Selection

A maximum of eight (8) students will be admitted each fall. Selection is based on the following weighted system:

  • Personal interview
  • Selection preference is given to those who are near successful completion of the general education curriculum and the Imaging Sciences core courses.

NOTE: If applicants have identical ranking scores, priority will be given to the student with the highest cumulative GPA. The top applicants will be offered positions for the available seats in the DMS program. Meeting the minimum criteria for admission or taking courses on the DMS degree plan does not guarantee admission into the program. Students not admitted must reapply to be considered for another semester. Students identified as alternates are not guaranteed a position in the next class.

Progression

Science courses taken more than five years before entering the program will be evaluated on an individual basis by the DMS program director and the dean of the College of Health, Education, and Human Sciences. See your advisor for more information and to request a science course evaluation.

The DMS program is competency-based in skills. To continue in the program, a student must have satisfactory clinical performance and a 75 percent average through each didactic course. A student dropped for any reason may apply for readmission if in compliance with the 91免费福利网 Student Academic Progress Policy as outline in the course catalog. A student who discontinues the sequence for any reason must petition for readmission to the DMS program. The readmission requirements are found in the DMS Policies and Procedures Manual (see the Readmission Criteria & Procedure Policy). The student is not guaranteed a position for readmission. A student who is readmitted is accountable for the degree requirements in effect at the time of readmission.
