Our clinical affiliates are now requiring criminal background checks, which if positive, would prohibit a student to gain the required clinical experiences. Applicants with felony and/or misdemeanor convictions or other ethical misconduct as deemed by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) may result in the inability to take the registry. If you have concerns or questions about this, please call the ARRT at 651-687-0048. |
