TRANSFER REQUESTS

Students actively enrolled in a Radiologic Technology Program accredited by the JRC/ERT may request transfer into the QCC Radiologic Technology program.  Consideration for admission to the second, third or fourth semester of the program will be individually reviewed based on the following documentation supplied by the applicant:

• Official transcript of completed course work in the current Radiologic Technology program.

• Complete syllabi of all Radiologic Technology courses completed

• Current Radiologic Technology program curriculum to include descriptions of all professional courses

• Letter of recommendation from current clinical instructor

• Letter of recommendation from current program director

• Meeting with QCC Radiologic Technology program faculty

• Compliance with QCC Admissions Office Transfer process

• Complete immunization record

The review process will determine the similarity between the two Radiologic Technology programs to ensure the transfer student would ultimately fulfill all required elements of the QCC program for graduation.  This may require the transfer student to repeat one or more completed Radiologic Technology courses.  Final admission will be on a space available basis.  Accepted transfer students will be required to complete a CORI / SORI check, have CPR certification (health care provider level)

To initiate this process, submit the above documentation to the QCC Radiologic Technology program director.
