RADIOLOGICAL SCIENCES What is Radiography?

Radiography uses ionized radiation to produce x-rays or radiographs of the human body. Radiography is used for imaging skeletal structures and internal organs, occasionally using a contrast medium. The radiologic technologist or “radiographer” prepares and positions the patient for the exam, operates the radiographic equipment, and processes the digital images for review and consultation with physicians and other healthcare professionals.

RADIOLOGIC SCIENCES Criminal Background Checks / Drug Screen

IMPORTANT NOTE

Students with a previous felony or misdemeanor are not prohibited from applying to a health occupations program.

However, the result of the background check and drug screen after acceptance may prevent the student from attending a clinical rotation at our hospital sites, resulting in the student being dismissed from the program.

Therefore, potential applicants should contact the ARRT prior to applying to the program to determine their eligibility to take the ARRT registry exam.

More information is found at the following link on the ARRT website: https://www.arrt.org/pdfs/Ethics/Ethics-Review-Pre-Application.pdf

RADIOLOGIC SCIENCES A Few Frequently Asked Questions….

I have a full-time job. Can I work while I’m in the Radiography program?

The Radiography prerequisite and support classes are offered day, evening, weekend and some online schedules; therefore, a potential applicant has the flexibility to work before they apply to the Radiography program.

After acceptance and starting the Radiography courses themselves, many students do work. During the first two semesters of the program, a student may have radiography classes only 2-4 days per week if all their support courses are completed.

therefore, students may only be able to work part-time on the weekends.

During the second year of the program, classes and clinical rotations are five days per week; The Radiography program courses are usually scheduled during daytime hours, Monday-Friday.

Students in the Radiography program are not paid while doing their clinical rotations.

RADIOLOGIC SCIENCES Frequently Asked Questions (cont.)

I earned a “C” in my English course several years ago. I would like to repeat it to earn a higher grade. Which grade will be used for my grade point average and will repeating the course count against my application?

You may certainly repeat a course; the last grade earned will be the grade of record. (“W’s” or withdrawals from the course do not count in grade point average calculation.) Please note, however, that if you earn a grade of “D” or “F” in your second attempt in the course, THAT will be the grade of record and we will not honor the “C” you earned in your first attempt.

Repeating a course to earn a higher grade does not count against your application as long as you complete the course with a “C” or higher on your last attempt.

RADIOLOGIC SCIENCES Frequently Asked Questions (cont.)

How do I calculate my grade point average (GPA)?

A grade point average is calculated by dividing the number of total grade points earned in a group of courses by the total number of credit hours those courses are worth.

For example, a letter grade earns so many grade points per credit hour for that course: A = 4 grade points X the number of credit hours for the course B = 3 grade points X the number of credit hours for the course C = 2 grade points X the number of credit hours for the course

RADIOLOGIC SCIENCES Frequently Asked Questions (cont.)

Here’s a sample of courses, grades earned, and the grade points for each: ENGL 1301 – A MATH 1314 – B SCIT 1407 – C A = 4 grade points X 3 credit hours for the course = 12 grade points B = 3 grade points X 3 credit hours for the course = 9 grade points C = 2 grade points X 4 credit hours for the course = 8 grade points Add the grade points: 12 + 9 + 8 = 29 grade points Add the number of credit hours: 3 + 3 + 4 = 10 credit hours And finally, divide the number of grade points by the number of credit hours to calculate the cumulative grade point average on these three courses: 29

÷

10 = 2.90 GPA

RADIOLOGIC SCIENCES Frequently Asked Questions (cont.)

Where do I park at El Centro and the Paramount Building?

Although El Centro College does not have reserved parking for students, staff, or visitors, parking is available at meters and various lots adjacent to the Paramount Building. The average cost of parking per day is $4 - $6. We are conveniently located near the West End DART Rail Station and the West Bus Transfer Center.

RADIOLOGIC SCIENCES Frequently Asked Questions (cont.)

I don’t have a Social Security Number. Can I still apply to the Radiography program?

A Social Security Number (SSN) is not required to apply to the Radiography program.

However, many of our hospitals and clinical affiliates require students to have an SSN in order to perform their clinical assignments at that facility.

Therefore, clinical opportunities may be limited for students without an SSN.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Should a clinical opportunity not be available for a student who has no SSN, the student may not be eligible to continue in the Radiography program.

Although an SSN is not required to take the registry exam from ARRT, the application for licensure in the state of Texas through the Texas Department of State Health Services does requires an SSN.

Therefore, students who are accepted to the Radiography program are strongly encouraged to contact advance of graduation from the program.
