read the minimum pre-requisites for admission carefully and make sure you meet
them.
- Q. What is the enrollment process?
A. Applications and transcripts are reviewed to determine that minimum requirements are
met. If the applicant has not met the minimum requirements, the school will send a
letter informing the applicant of their deficiencies. If the applicant has met the
minimum requirements, he/she will be scheduled for a personal interview with the
school faculty. After all interviews are held, the Admission Committee will select the
most qualified applicants to begin the program. All applicants will receive a letter
from the school informing them of the Admissions Committee decision. Applicants
will be accepted and processed beginning in October preceding the August
enrollment.

A. The school will process applications as they arrive. The school will continue to accept
applications and supporting documents until enrollment is complete.
- Q. When do classes begin?
A. Classes begin the second Monday in August. The school only accepts one class per
year, so it is recommended that applicants apply early to receive consideration.
Applications for each August class are accepted and reviewed beginning in October
preceding the August enrollment.
- Q. How many students are in each class?
A. The radiography program is competitive and student capacity is limited. Each year

before the following March 1st after starting the program (i.e. You must be 17 ½ years
