Admissions

Hear from program graduates

Program graduates will be required by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) to have earned an academic degree to be eligible to sit for their certification examination.

Therefore, before enrolling into Reid's radiography program, students must provide proof they will meet the ARRT's academic degree criterion by one of the following:

If you do not have a college degree

A total of 22 credit hours in prerequisite courses are required by Ivy Tech to confer an Associate of Applied Science in Imaging Science degree through Reid Health's program. Out of the 22 credit hours, at least 15 hours must be completed at Ivy Tech. The remaining seven credit hours can be transferred from another institution. All prerequisite courses should be completed with a minimum grade of "C." All prerequisite courses must be completed by the program start date. Participants will be required to pass an exit exam with a minimum score of 675, before the degree will be awarded by Ivy Tech.

If you have an associate degree (or higher)

Admission to the School of Radiologic Technology is open to any individual who has successfully completed at least 15 credit hours of 100-level or higher college coursework with a grade of "C" or better in the following:

• 3 credit hours of intermediate algebra or higher
• 3 credit hours of English composition, interpersonal communication, or public speaking
• 6 credit hours of natural science, such as human anatomy and physiology, biology, chemistry, physics
• At least 3 additional credit hours in any of the following: psychology, sociology, information technology, medical terminology, or humanities

Advanced placement, transfer students and part-time students

Class sizes are limited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology. Advanced placement is not granted because of curriculum sequence and design. Selection of students is made without discrimination with regard to race, color, religion, gender, national origin, citizenship, age, mental or physical disabilities, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, genetic information, or any other factor protected by law. Reid Health's School of Radiologic Technology does not accept transfer, advanced-placement, or part-time students.

Application process

Step 1

• Review all pertinent information on this website.
• Applicants should complete and then mail their application and application fee of $25.
• Arrange that we receive copies of official transcripts from high school and any post-secondary institutions you might have attended.
• Applications will not be considered if they are not received by the application deadline. Once the application, associated materials, and transcripts are received by the program, the applicant will receive information on next steps via mail and email.

Step 2 - Complete a prospective student tour

• Prospective student tours can be scheduled with our Clinical Coordinator, Kendra Gilley, by email or by phone at (765) 983-3000 ext. 4767.
• During the prospective student tour, you will:
• Sign the Pledge to Patient Confidentiality
• Be on-site for 2-3 hours in professional attire
• Tour the imaging department and observe exams/procedures that might be done during that time
• Talk to current students and technologists
• Review and discuss and questions you might have with program faculty

Step 3 - Attend an information session

Before the application deadline, prospective students are required to attend one of the program's information sessions. A morning and an afternoon session are offered on two different days about 1-2 weeks before the application deadline. These sessions are to review the application process to ensure all prospective students have submitted required documents, learn about the program's course work and clinical expectations, and have the opportunity to ask questions of current students and faculty.

Step 4 - Complete an in-person interview

Qualified students who have fully completed the application process will be asked to interview with the program faculty and the Advisory Board. Please see the Advisory Board's Radiography Program Interview Evaluation Form here. Scores are awarded in each of the categories on this form by the Advisory Board members. Candidates with the highest total score will be those selected.

All applicants will be notified of the program's decision for enrollment as soon as possible. Those applicants not initially selected for the program might become alternates. Alternates will be ranked based on the average of the interview score. In the event an accepted student declines to attend, the position will be offered to the first alternate and so on.

The application form can be found here. Once completed, the form can either be mailed with the application fee to 1100 Reid Parkway, Richmond, IN 47374 ATTN: School of Radiologic Technology or emailed to either Program Director Chris Werking or Clinical Coordinator Kendra Gilley.

Please reach out to Chris Werking or Kendra Gilley with any questions regarding the application or its process.
