Scholastic Dishonesty

Guidelines for Returning Students
Students wishing to return to the program's core courses after either withdrawing for personal reasons or due to academic problems must submit in writing to the Program Director a letter of intent.

The student will be placed on a waiting list for the semester he or she wishes to return based on the date of the letter. The student will be able to return only if there is a place available.

If the student requests to return to clinical practicum and the class enrollment exceeds the clinical facilities limit, the returning student will not be placed and will be put on a list for the next registration of that clinical practicum.

All Radiologic Technology core classes, including clinical practicums must be completed within a three (3) year limit. If more than three years elapses before completing the program, the student will have to take a competency exam for those courses.
