The Computed Tomography (CT) technical certificate program provides educational opportunities to the post-graduate registered Radiologic Technologist, registered Radiation Therapist and registered Nuclear Medicine Technologist in good standing. It provides students with the knowledge needed to perform CT exams, and to sit for the Post-Primary Computed Tomography Certification Examination. The academic component is designed to meet competency requirements of the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) exam in Computed Tomography, as well as providing for continuing educational requirements.

Computed Tomography (CT) Program Application and Competitive Requirements

Background checks and drug screens are not performed until after the applicant has been accepted into the program and before the first day of class. This is a requirement for clinical rotations.

Some clinical sites may not accept students with criminal records and may refuse the student due to a failed drug screen. If an applicant has a criminal background they may not be allowed to take the national registry exam given by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologist (ARRT).

A pre-application process can be followed by contacting the ARRT at https://www.arrt.org/ to ascertain if the applicant will be allowed to take the registry exam.

A competitive selection process is used to choose students for each upcoming cohort. The top 28 applicants will be selected based on GPA of the 8 pre-requisite classes and the ATI TEAS VII Test Scores; bonus points are available.
