Disclosure:
Full disclosure of any ticket, citation, summons, arrest, charges or convictions for a misdemeanor or felony is required in writing to the Program Chairperson prior to applying to the Radiology program. Applicants must contact the Program Chairperson for preapproval information well in advance of the program application deadline. Written approval may take up to 12 weeks to complete. Individuals who have been charged or convicted of a misdemeanor or felony must pre-apply to the ARRT by filling out an Ethics Review Pre-Application. Once the written preapproval to take the examination is received in writing from the Program Chairperson, students may apply to the program. If any disclosure is not received and it appears on a background check or is discovered later, your application will be disqualified and/or clinical site revoked immediately. Completing an Ethics Review Pre-Application does not guarantee admission or employment.
