who declare the AAS degree and later wish to pursue the BSRS must make a
separate application upon completion of the AAS degree. Contact the Health
Professions advisor or the Director of Radiologic Sciences Programs for further
information.
Step 4: Determine if you are eligible to apply for the professional program in radiologic
technology. No student will be considered for admission if:
1. Cumulative GPA is below 2.5
2. Developmental courses will not be completed prior to the beginning of the
Summer Session for which you are applying
If you do not meet the criteria for admission please do not apply at this time.

future date.
