APPLICATION DEADLINE

CLASS AND CLINICAL SCHEDULES
The didactic and clinical learning experiences you receive are integral parts of radiography education, and the student is expected to apply him/herself in a diligent, professional manner in order to acquire the skills necessary to develop into a competent, professional technologist. Routine class and clinical hours are from 8-4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday; approximately twice per semester students will be required to rotate through DRMC for a noon-8p.m. rotation. Some evening and weekend clinical shifts may be required throughout your educational program and students will be advised of this schedule in advance.

COMPLETION/GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
To complete this program, students must complete all of the general education courses (pre-requisite and co-requisite), program specific didactic courses, clinical rotations, clinical check sheets and clinical competencies.  Students must achieve a minimum of a C in each didactic and clinical course. Failure to do so will result in dismissal from the program.

ACADEMIC PROGRESSION
A final course grade of C in all course work, both clinical and didactic, is required for continued progression through the program. To achieve a C, ALL course work must be satisfactorily completed within the allotted time. Final grades below C will result in academic dismissal. Students who are awarded an incomplete I must meet the course requirements no later than mid-term of the following semester. Failure to do so will result in a grade of F and academic dismissal.
