119 6. Complete health history, mandatory drug screening, criminal background check, and a physical examination with required immunizations. Students must also complete any requirements that the clinical sites have established for students. All students must provide evidence of health insurance. 7. If a student does not successfully complete any semester of the program or they delay their continuance in the program at anytime, they are not guaranteed re-entry into the program. In order to ensure competency, if the student is allowed to re-enter the program, they will be required to repeat all RT courses in that semester, regardless of the grade received the first time. 8. The computer literacy requirement for the major may be met with CS 110C (3). Admission criteria are as follows: A. Full-time, first-time first year students* 1. Cumulative minimum GPA of 2.5 or above 2. Grade of “C” or better in all of the required prerequisite courses for the major 3. Minimum of 45 anticipated credit hours prior to the start of the major 4. Required prerequisite courses may be only repeated once for a “C” *First year students who meet the criteria will be admitted to the major. A separate application is not required. First year, first time students who declare
Radiologic Science as their major by May 1 of the current year, and who meet the criteria, will be admitted to the major according to the four-year plan. If there are more first year students than there are spaces in the major, acceptance will be determined by GPA ranking. Students who began at Avila as first year, first time students but who change their major to Radiologic Science after May 1 of the current year will not be guaranteed a position in the program according to the four-year plan. These students may have to wait one year until the next class begins.
Additional considerations for transfer students: • Number of credit hours taken at Avila University • Number of prerequisite courses repeated for a “C” or better • On campus interview • GPA
B. Transfer Students ** 1. Completed Radiologic Science major application by deadline 2. Cumulative minimum GPA of 2.5 or above 3. Grade “C” or better in all required prerequisite courses for the major 4. Minimum of 45 anticipated credit hours prior to the start of the major 5. Required prerequisite courses may be repeated only once for a “C” or better 6. Required observation in Radiology Department documented by a one page typed essay about experience with information about the hospital and the contact person.
Admission of Registered Radiographers to the Upward Mobility Program
** Transfer students are not guaranteed automatic acceptance after meeting the criteria. The number of positions available is calculated after the first-time, full-time freshmen have been admitted to the major.
Persons who have completed or are currently enrolled in Radiologic Science Programs elsewhere are eligible for admission to the upward mobility program leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in Radiologic Science. Formal acceptance into the degree completion program will not be given until the student has successfully passed the Registry exam given by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. 1. Receive acceptance into Avila University by the Admissions Office. 2. Evidence of Certification by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. 3. A student in the degree completion program is limited to taking only 9 credit hours before evidence of certification by the A.R.R.T. is required. The student may not continue in the program unless they are registered technologists.
The candidate for the Bachelor of Science Degree in Radiologic Science (radiography track) must meet all requirements listed below: • Completion of academic work with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0. • Completion of the general degree requirements as stated under the academic policies and procedures. • Maintain a “C” or above in all Natural Sciences, Mathematics, Health and Radiologic Science courses. These courses may be repeated only once to obtain the minimum grade of “C”. • Students who do not earn a “C” or better in two or more courses in the Radiologic Science major during the same semester will not be allowed to continue in the program. • The following courses for the Radiologic Science major are prerequisites: BI 111 or 112, 220 (13) Chemistry: CH 131 (4) Mathematics: MA 120 (3) Physics: PH 117 (4). Medical Terminology HE 124 (2) may be taken as a corequisite in the first semester in the major. *Radiologic Science (Radiography) RT 451*, 452*, 453*, 454**, 455**, 456, 457**, 458**, 459, 460*, 461*, 462*, 463*, 464*, 465*, 466*, 467*, 469, 480*, 488* and 499. Registered Radiographers in the degree completion program receive credit for all of the starred (*) courses totaling 46 hours. Courses that are (**) may be challenged through examinations.
