ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCE DEGREE
RADIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGY (2155/2156)
The Associate in Science degree in Radiologic Technology prepares students for careers as radiologic technologists. Graduates will
be eligible to apply for the national certification examination in radiography administered by the American Registry of Radiologic
Technologists. ARRT certification is recognized throughout the country. Some states also require state licensure. Successful
completion of the ARRT examination allows students to become licensed by the State of Florida to practice radiography in the
state. Florida state licensure does not require additional testing or education. The radiography curriculum is intended to provide
qualified students with the educational experiences and practical skills required to function competently in the field of radiologic
technology as an entry-level radiologic technologist.
The program core courses are delivered over a 20-month period covering 5 consecutive college terms. The overall curriculum
includes general education courses, program-related courses, radiologic technology core courses, and practical experience
gained at regional hospitals, imaging centers, and clinics.
All clinical education courses will be scheduled at various clinical sites located in the tri-county service area or adjacent counties.
Students must earn a minimum “C” grade in each of the required courses to continue the program.

PROGRAM MISSION STATEMENT
The Radiography curriculum is intended to provide qualied students with the educational experiences and practical skills required to
function competently in the eld of Radiologic Technology as an entry-level radiographer. In addition, the program will be conducted in a
manner which will motivate students to become patient advocates in their eld and to perform their duties with consideration, empathy,
and respect toward all patients in all circumstances.
Note that students who are only taking prerequisites for admission into the program and who are not pursuing other degree programs are not
considered regular, admitted students and are therefore not eligible for either federal or state forms of nancial aid.
Applicants may apply:
April 1 - May 15 for fall enrollment
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

STUDENT SELECTION
The student selection process is based on the following point system: (MAXIMUM POSSIBLE POINTS 176)
1. 104 POSSIBLE POINTS – Points tabulated from the prerequisite courses identied in the admission
requirements will contribute to the total points assigned to this category. A total of 26 semester hours of credit are
available for point consideration. The method of point calculation for this category is based on the following
formula:
(Letter grade value X credit hours = points assigned)
Calculation example: student achieves a letter grade (B) in BSC 2805 (3 credits) = 9 points and a letter grade
(A) in BSC 2085L (1 credit) = 4 points for a total of 13 points
A=4 points B=3 points C=2 points
2. 15 POINTS AWARDED – Points awarded for proof of residence in Clay, Putnam, or St. Johns counties, Florida.
Residency is not a requirement.
3. 20 POINTS AWARDED – Current licensure as a State of Florida basic X-ray machine operator.
4. 15 POSSIBLE POINTS AWARDED – 5 points will be awarded if applicant has an A.A./A.S. degree; 10 points
will be awarded if applicant has a BA/BS degree; 15 points will be awarded if applicant has a MA/MS degree.
5. 16 POSSIBLE POINTS AWARDED – 2 points will be awarded for each prerequisite course taken at St. Johns
River State College (excluding lab courses).
6. 6 POSSIBLE POINTS AWARDED – 6 points will be awarded for an “A”, 4 points for a “B”, 2 points for a “C”
in HSC 1004 Professions of Caring (not required but recommended).
In case two or more students are tied in points for the last available position, admission will be awarded to the student with the earliest
date and time the application was received from the applicants with the tied score.
FOLLOWING ACCEPTANCE INTO THE PROGRAM APPLICANTS MUST:
1. Successfully complete a Basic Life Support Health Care Provider (BLS) course accredited by the American Heart Association
valid through expected graduation date. A course will be given at the St. Augustine campus during Summer term.
2. Have a physical examination verifying acceptable health status for the program. Requirements for the physical are included on
the form provided to each student admitted into the radiologic technology program.
3. Attend the radiologic technology program and clinical site orientations and clinical shadowing requirements on the
specied dates. These are scheduled during the summer term.
4. All students are asked to sign a consent and waiver for SJR State to perform a criminal background check and receive drug
screen results. Failure to provide this consent will render the applicant ineligible for admission to the program. Admission
to the program is conditional upon the results of the criminal background check and drug screen results. Additional random
and scheduled drug screening may be required at any time during the program.
Note: An individual who has been involved in a criminal proceeding or who has been charged with, or convicted of, a crime should le a pre-application with
the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) in order to obtain a ruling on the impact of the situation on their eligibility for certication and
registration. Go to arrt.org for more information.
