Admissions Procedure

Applications are not mailed to prospective students nor are they available online.

A prospective student must set up an information session to meet with the Program Director, receive information about the program, and participate in an aptitude test prior to March 15 of the year he/she wishes to attend the program.  This is an excellent opportunity to ask questions and gain an understanding of the program prior to applying for admission.

Information sessions are scheduled on designated Monday and Friday mornings in January and February prior to the March 15 deadline.  Contact the Program Director to schedule an appointment.  Please note that appointments are not made on a year-round basis, but may be made after Thanksgiving in the fall of each year. 

Upon completion of the above, the qualified applicant will receive an application to submit for admission to the School of Radiologic Technology. The completed application, official grade transcripts, and a non-refundable $20 application fee (payable to Columbus Regional Hospital) should be submitted to the Program Director by the application deadline of April 1. No action will be taken on applications until after the application deadline.

The student selection process is based upon a point system.  Following the deadline, those applicants who meet published admission standards are evaluated in terms of academic potential.  Points are awarded based upon course grades, SAT score, aptitude test score, and reference checks.  An interview process for the top scholastic candidates will be conducted as well.

The committee selects up to six (6) qualified students who are offered admission to the program and two (2) who are selected as alternates in the event all of the selected students do not accept a position in the program.  Class size may be adjusted yearly prior to the selection process at the discretion of program officials with consideration to the job market.
