How can I apply to the Radiography Program at CVCC?
The Radiologic Technology program is competitive, accepting students into the curriculum
only once a year for the fall semester. Students must complete
the Allied Health application process by March 15 prior to the fall semester of desired
enrollment. Admission to the program is based on grades, performance on the
college's placement test, interviews, and demonstrated interest in this field. Applicants
accepted to the program will be required to complete a criminal background check. Program
admission is dependent upon return of a favorable Virginia State Police background check.
Students must meet prerequisites of the program to be considered for admission.
Prerequisites include: two years of science (biology, chemistry, or physics) and two years
of math (algebra I, algebra II, or geometry). Deficiencies must be remediated through
developmental studies before consideration for admission to the program. Interested students
must meet with a counselor to complete the appropriate referral forms. Referrals to the
Radiologic Technology Program Director must be completed by March 15.
Upon completion of the curriculum, the graduate is eligible to make application for the
National Registry Examination leading to certification as a Registered Radiographer.
Successful completion of the course and the certifying exam will qualify a graduate to
gain employment as a radiographer. Some states also require a state license. The CVCC
program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology
(JRCERT*)which is the only agency recognized by the
United States Department of Education for the accreditation of educational programs in
radiography, radiation therapy, magnetic resonance, and medical dosimetry.
