                Associate in Applied Science degree (AAS) or intent to
                pursue the Bachelor of Sciences in Radiologic Sciences degree
                (BSRS).  Students who declare the AAS degree and later wish to
                pursue the BSRS must make a separate application upon
                completion of the AAS degree.  Contact the Health Professions
                advisor or theDirector of Radiologic Sciences Programs for
                further information.

Step 4:      Determine if you are eligible to apply for the professional program
                in radiologic technology.  No student will be considered for
                admission if:

                    1.  Cumulative GPA is below 2.5
                    2.  Developmental courses will not be completed prior to the
                         beginning of the Summer Session for which you are applying

               If you do not meet the criteria for admission please do not apply
               at this time. Talk with your advisor about how best to meet the
               criteria for admission at a future date.
