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.

Courses

All prerequisites must be completed before applying to the Radiologic Technology program. You must earn a grade of B- or better in BIOL 2320/2325. The other prerequisites must be completed with a C grade or better. All prerequisites have a limit of two attempts every 5 years. The highest grade of the two attempts will be used.

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT TRANSFER CREDIT

• It is the applicant's responsibility to make sure their transfer credit has been fully transferred to SLCC prior to the program's application deadlines.
• If a student has courses they are transferring from another school, their transcripts must be evaluated by the SLCC Transfer Evaluation Office and their grades must be posted to SLCC DegreeWorks (their MySLCC account), before the program’s application deadline (priority and final application deadlines apply). IT CAN TAKE SEVERAL WEEKS FOR TRANSCRIPTS TO BE EVALUATED.

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:

Some clinical facilities may require additional immunizations.

Changes based on CDC recommendations, see below links:

• Healthcare Personnel Vaccination Recommendations
• Testing Health Care Workers
• Hepatitis B FAQs for Health Professionals

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 next cohort beginning Fall 2023, this Meet ‘n Greet event will be held on the Jordan Campus of Salt Lake Community College on February 16, 2023, from 8 am – 4:30 pm in the atrium of the Heath Sciences building.
