NOTICE

All of the Health Science Programs at Clovis Community College require criminal background checks and drug screenings prior to admittance into the clinical setting. Failure to pass one or both could result in dismissal from the program. Applicants with felony convictions and misdemeanors may not be allowed in the clinical sites or allowed to sit for the National or State exams in Radiology.

PREVIOUS FELONY CONVICTIONS

After graduation students are considered candidates, and may apply to sit for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) National Certification Board Examination. Candidates must comply with the “Rules of Ethics” contained in the American Registry’s “Standards of Ethics.” A conviction of or plea of guilty to or a plea of NoLo contendere to a crime which is either a felony or is a misdemeanor must be investigated by the ARRT in order to determine eligibility.

Applicants who have been convicted of, or plead guilty to or plead NoLo contendere to a crime must contact the Program Director of Radiologic Sciences for additional information regarding this matter.

TECHNICAL STANDARDS FOR ACCEPTANCE

To participate in the clinical education portion of the program, the applicant must possess additional non-academic skills. These technical standards are consistent with the duties of the entry level radiographer in a professional position. The applicant must be able to:

• Lift and transfer patients to and from the imaging table, stretcher, bed and or wheel chair.

• Move, adjust, and manipulate equipment to perform imaging procedures. • Communicate effectively with personnel in an oral or written format, and in turn
