Application Procedures

General Technical Requirements

Class size is limited and all applicants may not be selected for participation in the radiologic imaging sciences program. Early consideration will be given to those who have submitted complete applications (see the required items below) by the last working day in January. Applications must be received by March 1 to be assured of consideration for admission.  Applicants must provide:

  1. Application for Admission: The College of Health Related Professions Application for Admission is required. Please contact the division office or the CHRP Office of Student Affairs for information.
     

  2. Application Fee:  A $20.00 non-refundable fee is required and must accompany the application.  (If applying to multiple programs, a $20.00 fee is required for the first program and $10.00 for each additional program.)
     

  3. Official Transcripts: Arrange for each college or university you have attended to forward an official transcript of your course work. All official transcripts must be received no later than April 1.
     

  4. Professional Observation: Applicants are required to demonstrate an understanding of the responsibilities and duties of the radiologic technologist through observation in a hospital radiology department and discussion with a current radiologic technologist in the field. For a printable Observation Form, click here.  The professional observation must be completed by the first working day in April.
     

  5. Advisory Session: Qualified applicants must present themselves in person for an advisory session in the division. This session will be scheduled by the division during the Spring semester.
     

  6. ACT Scores:  Required for applicants seeking admission for the fall 2009 semester and for subsequent years.  Official ACT scores must be sent directly from ACT to the CHRP Admissions Office.

Transcripts “issued to the student” will not substitute for official transcripts forwarded directly to the College of Health Related Professions by the institution issuing the transcripts.

Arkansas residency will be considered during selection for admission.
