Admission Policies 

Enrollment in the Associate of Science in Radiologic Technology degree program is limited. Admission policies and procedures are available from the Office of Enrollment Services, the Director of Radiologic Technology or on the College Web site. 

  

Course Polices for Attendance and Participation 

Students are expected to attend all classes in which they are enrolled. Makeup is very difficult due to the amount of material covered in each class. Course faculty must be notified of the reason(s) before an absence/tardy occurs. Each unexcused absence (as determined by the course faculty) will lower the final course grade by one letter grade. The student MUST contact the faculty member prior to the start of class in order for the absence to be excused. Being tardy, leaving early or absent should be exceptional occurrences with good cause. Abuse of the attendance and participation policy will result in the following: 

  

Three tardy occurrences = one unexcused absence = one drop in letter grade 

  

Three excused absences = one unexcused absence = one drop in letter grade 

  

Please Note: Each individual class period missed will count as an occurrence. Only a doctor's note will supersede the attendance and participation course policy for a drop in letter grade. A tardy will be defined as arriving after the scheduled start time of the class/lab. Students will not be allowed to attend the class/lab if they have missed 10 minutes of a lab or 30 minutes of a lecture/theory course.  

  

Curriculum Requirements 

In order to complete the associate of science in radiologic technology (RT) degree, students must successfully complete a total of 70 semester hours. Students are required to attend courses year round, with all RT courses com­pleted in the sequence shown in the sample curriculum. Semester hours for the associate degree are distributed as follows: 

·         General Education and Support Courses = 22 Semester Hours (The following courses compose the 22 hours: Anatomy, College Algebra, Introduction to Computer , English Composition I, Medical Terminology, Physiology and five semester hours of Core Curriculum. Each of these courses needs to be completed with a "C" or above.) 

·         Major Courses = 47 Semester hours (At least 20 semester hours must be completed at Clarkson College with at least 10 semester hours of 200-level courses.)  

  

Service-Learning and Community Service Graduation Requirements 

Fifteen hours (11 Service-Learning)* of Clarkson College Service hours must be completed prior to graduation. Graduates who do not complete the required number of Service hours will not receive diplomas or transcripts, until the hours have been completed. *Note: Service hours accrued beyond the minimum number of required service hours can be applied toward the requirements for the Maltese Cross Certificate or Medal.
