Application Process
All prospective students should speak with a Radiologic Technology faculty member before applying.

Transfer Policy
MCC’s Radiologic Technology Program does not accept transfer students from outside radiography programs. This applies to students currently enrolled elsewhere and to students who were previously enrolled in another program. Our didactic and clinical components are closely connected, so transferring in would interfere with program goals and outcomes. To be considered for admission to the AAS in Radiologic Technology, you must complete the full application process and meet all requirements.
Admission Criteria
MEETING THE MINIMUM CRITERIA DOES NOT GUARANTEE ACCEPTANCE.
Applicants are ranked and admitted using a two-stage system until the enrollment limit is reached.
Stage One: GPA/Curriculum Points
Applicants are scored based on the point system below. If two or more applicants tie, the higher GPA moves forward to Stage Two.
Stage 1 Points System
Points are based on six categories: A + B + C + D + E + F
- GPA - GPA is based only on non-developmental Radiologic Technology coursework. GPA × 10 points
- Credit Hours Completed in the RADR Curriculum
Credit Hours Completed in the RADR Curriculum Hours Completed Points 19–22 hours 10 points 15–18 hours 8 points 11–14 hours 6 points 7–10 hours 4 points 3–6 hours 2 points - Anatomy & Physiology (grade of A or B required)

Stage Two: Admission Interviews.
Top scorers from Stage One are invited to interview. Interviews are scheduled within 7–14 days after the June 1 deadline. A panel of faculty and field experts conducts each interview using a set scoring process.
Important: Make sure your email, phone number, and mailing address are correct on your application. If you miss your interview notification due to wrong contact info, you forfeit your spot. No-shows also forfeit their opportunity.
If two or more applicants tie after interviews, the program uses these tiebreakers in order:
