Admissions

Applications for admission to the Radiologic Technology program are only accepted during open submission periods. Please see the School of Health Sciences Application Submission Dates for current submission dates.

The Radiologic Technology program uses a merit-based, competitive 2-step independent admission process. We accept one cohort of (day) students every Fall semester in odd years and two cohorts every Fall semester in even years (these will be a day and a night cohort). The number of available seats varies from year to year depending on clinical sites. 

Due to the broad disbursement of clinical sites that extend from Utah County to Davis County, students are required to be able to travel to their assigned clinical site for the duration of the program.

If you do not receive an email confirming receipt of your application within 7 days or if you have any questions about the application process, please call the Health Sciences Admissions Office at 801-957-6253.

All communication will be through your Bruinmail. If you are not checking it (or haven't forwarded it to your personal email) you may miss important information. If you are accepted to a program a confirmation email will be required, please read all emails carefully and thoroughly to make sure you don't miss any information.

 

Apply for admission at SLCC as a matriculated student (if you have not attended SLCC within the last three years). Declare Health Sciences as your Area of Study and Radiologic Technology as your Program of Study. Meet early with a program Academic Advisor to make sure you’re on track to complete all program prerequisites and submission requirements before applying to the Radiologic Technology program.

Notification of Acceptance

You will be notified of your acceptance into the Radiologic Technology program via your Bruinmail account. If you are accepted to a program a confirmation email will be required, please read all emails carefully and thoroughly to make sure you don't miss any information. 

 

Acceptances into the Radiologic Technology program will be given on a "conditional" basis.  Students must complete the following within the allotted time in their conditional acceptance letter to receive a full acceptance:

  1. Order Complio compliance package.
  2. Order background check.
  3. Upload and enter documentation showing compliance for immunizations.
  4. Complete drug screening (directions will be provided in the conditional acceptance letter)
  5. Attend the Clinical Placement Meet 'n Greet (information will be provided in the conditional acceptance letter)

Once all of the above items have been completed, the student will need to contact the Admissions Office for verification of compliance.  If compliant, a full acceptance letter will be sent with additional instructions for anything else that will need to be completed before beginning the program.

Please do not initiate any of the compliance tasks unless you have received a conditional acceptance letter.

Background Check and Compliance Package

A full criminal background check is required for the Radiologic Technology Program.  Please follow the steps below to order a Criminal Background Check Package and a Compliance Package (which includes immunization and CPR tracking):

  1. Go to Complio
  2. Follow the instructions to set up an account.
  3. Order the Criminal Background Check Package ($29.00), the Drug Screening Package ($35), you will have 48 hours to complete the test once ordered, and the Compliance (Radiologic Technology) Package ($16.00). The compliance package is a 12 month subscription that will need to be renewed every 12 months while you are in the program at a cost of $16.00.

Students who do not receive favorable background checks, may not be able to sit for national certification exams or meet the requirements for clinical placement.  Students who do not receive favorable background checks should contact the Health Sciences Admissions Coordinator immediately.  An unfavorable background check may prevent acceptance into the program. The School of Health Sciences strongly recommends that prospective students take measures to have criminal offenses (felonies and or misdemeanors) expunged if possible.  Information regarding how to expunge criminal records may be found here:  https://www.utcourts.gov/howto/expunge/

If you have any problems with the background check, call the Complio (American Data Bank) customer service department at 800-200-0853 or email complio@americandatabank.com. If you continue to have problems, call the Health Sciences Admissions Office at 801-957-6253.

Immunizations

Proof of immunization is required by clinical affiliates and must be completed upon acceptance into the program. Clinical affiliates mandate all students comply with program immunization requirements, as failure to immunize is not only a risk to patients but also students. Failure to immunize may result in the inability to place students at clinical sites, which would also preclude students from completing required clinical coursework.  Students that cannot comply may forfeit their placement in the program. Students claiming a religious or personal exemption for an immunization should fill out this form (link) and provide to the Associate Dean of the specific program.  Students claiming an allergy to an immunization should complete this form (link) and provide to the Admissions Coordinator in the Dean’s Office.  The School of Health Sciences does not guarantee that clinical affiliates will accept exemption requests. 

The Immunization and CPR Compliance Package must be completed with documentation submitted to the American DataBank Complio site. In your Compliance Package, you must provide proof of the following immunizations:

1. Annual Influenza Vaccination:
Required annually, students must provide proof of receiving the Influenza vaccination between September 1 and October 31 or submit a signed exemption request form between September 1 and October 31.
2. Tuberculosis Blood Test: Required Annually
Proof of a negative 2-step PPD, QuantiFERON TB Gold test or T-SPOT.TB; if positive, you must submit a chest x-ray read by a radiologist with a normal result. If the chest x-ray is abnormal, you must be cleared by your physician or local health department. A one year repeat QuantiFERON test or 1- Step PPD will be due in Complio the year following admission to the program. This requirement also includes international students who have had the BCG immunization. X-ray results are good for three years.
3. Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis (Tdap) Booster:
Tdap booster is good for 10 years. TD will be given subsequent to Tdap.
4. Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR):
Proof of two doses or a positive titer (blood draw) on all three (measles, mumps and rubella). Equivocal results are not acceptable; you must test in the positive range if you choose to do a titer. NOTE: If given to adult females, since this is a live virus, you cannot be pregnant at the time you receive the immunization and you must avoid pregnancy for 3 months after administration.
5. Varicella (Chicken Pox):
Proof of two doses or a positive titer (blood draw). Stating you had the disease is not acceptable. Varicella immunizations are expensive, if you had the disease it is recommended to start with a less expensive titer first for proof of immunity before starting the immunizations. Once in the program if titer was negative, student must submit 2 doses of the vaccine taken 30 days apart and 30 days after the negative titer.
6. Hepatitis B vaccination series:
Must submit proof of a positive Hepatitis B titer in Complio. It is possible that you will have to repeat the series if your titer is negative. Students conditionally accepted into the Radiologic Technology Program must be able to provide proof of immunity by way of titer or non-responder status to Hepatitis B no later than May 1st. For students not immune after an initial series, the repeat process can take 3-7 months depending on series given and a repeat titer. It is strongly encouraged that students be aware of their immunity status and plan accordingly to meet the deadline. Students unable to provide a final immunity status by May 1st will have their conditional acceptance offer withdrawn.
7. Hepatitis A vaccination series (Highly recommended but not required):
Two dose series or a positive titer. If a student starts the series, they must complete it.
8. COVID Vaccine:
Proof of complete doses or an approved Health Sciences exemption form on file. Unvaccinated students may not be eligible to be placed or complete a clinical requirement necessary for graduation. *Subject to change based on mandates*

 

The SLCC Center for Health and Counseling offers immunizations at a discounted rate for students who are low income. For a discounted rate, take your previous income tax return or your last 30 days pay stubs.

Some clinical facilities may require additional immunizations.

Changes based on CDC recommendations, see below links:

All immunization information is subject to change. Please contact us at 801-957-6253 if you have questions.

CPR Certification

American Heart Association or American Red Cross Two-Year BLS Providers will be accepted. Your CPR certification must be kept current throughout the program. 

Clinical placement meet 'n greet

After receiving notification of acceptance into a cohort of the SLCC Radiologic Technology Program, selectively admitted students will participate in a meet ‘n greet clinical placement event. This event provides an opportunity for students and clinical site representatives to meet one another.

Students will move through 5-minute rotations with each clinical site representative. All students will have an opportunity to meet all clinical site representatives.

Students will be instructed to submit their top ten (10) clinical site choices to the SLCC Radiologic Technology Program clinical coordinator. Clinical site representatives will be instructed to also submit their top ten (10) student choices.

Choices will be tabulated and matched to determine student clinical site placements for the five-semesters of the program. The SLCC Radiologic Technology Program reserves the right for the final determination of a student’s clinical placement.

**For the cohort beginning Fall 2024, the Meet ‘n Greet event will be held in February 2024, date is TBD**
