If you're enrolled in a Middle College program, you must submit a completed Middle College Status Verification Form filled out by your advisor.

Submit appropriate documentation to verify your status if currently serving, or submit Form DD-214 if you are a veteran.

Students who were previously given alternate candidate status, but were not accepted during the same admission cycle, will receive additional points. No documentation is needed–this information is already on file. Points are only awarded to students granted alternate status through WCC's Competitive Admission Process, not the previous Waitlist Process.

Students may earn additional points for one (1) of the categories below (a or b). For additional details, refer to point 3 of the Point Scales for Competitive Admissions Programs.

• a) Employment: Students must verify direct patient care employment in a hospital or healthcare facility/agency within 8 years of the application deadline.
  • Submit a completed Experience Form. Veterans may submit Form DD-214 in place of the form.
• b) High School Health Science Technology Program: Students must verify completion of a Health Science Technology Program (minimum of 1 year) at a high school level with a minimum grade of C/2.0.
  • Submit a high school transcript. If the program name or grade is not clearly indicated, include additional documentation from the school to verify completion.

All Radiography (RAD) courses must be completed with a minimum grade of C-/1.7 and all support courses required for the program must be completed with a minimum grade of C/2.0, unless otherwise specified.

Students must have reliable transportation to clinical education sites which may require a commute of up to one hour.

Students who are dismissed from the program may not be eligible to reapply to the program.

Students are required to submit health records and complete a full background check paid to an outside vendor selected by the College.

• Students who have been charged or convicted of a misdemeanor or felony must complete the Ethics Pre-Application Review process with the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). They must receive official clearance from ARRT before they are eligible to take the national radiography board exam. Documentation proving eligibility must be submitted upon acceptance to the program, as it is required during the criminal background check to maintain their status. Please be aware that the ARRT ethics review process can take up to 12 weeks to complete.
  • For more information, contact ARRT at 651-687-0048 or visit their website.
• Failure to receive an acceptable criminal background check/fingerprinting at any time will result in dismissal from the program.
