All eligible applicants must have a grade point average of 2.5 in the completed prerequisite courses for consideration for acceptance into the radiologic technology program.  It is highly recommended that courses be taken within a 3-year period.  Selection is based on random selection after completion of the prerequisite and general education courses with an Associate's Degree that has been verified.

 NO. However, some courses may have the same course number at different colleges, but they may contain different course materials.  An example is LACC offers 100 & 101 classes and they are completely different from our RDTC 100 & 101 classes. A student may petition to have the pre-requisite courses accepted and those course petitions are sent to the appropriate deans of that division.  We do not have the means to test a student out of a course since all of the courses are required to meet the accreditation board and the state board requirements. If courses are taken at another college, please provide a course description with the application. However, courses may not be acceptable unless verified by the counseling office.
