IntroductionThe PVCC Radiography Program is 21-month (five semesters) course of study leadingto an Associate in Applied Science degree in Radiography. The program is currentlyaccredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology(JRCERT). Program graduates qualify to take the American Registry of RadiologicTechnologists (ARRT) exam for certification.Hospitals remain the primary employer of radiologic technologists, but there areincreasing numbers of jobs available in physician offices, outpatient surgery centers,and free-standing diagnostic imaging centers. Entry-level radiologic technologists usediagnostic imaging equipment to produce x-rays of the tissue, organs, bones andvessels of the body. They may choose to concentrate in one or more specific clinicalareas such as orthopedics or digestive health. With more experience and additionaltraining, radiologic technologists may specialize in radiation therapy, mammography,angiography, nuclear medicine, computed tomography (CT) scanning or magneticresonance imaging (MRI).Employment as a radiologic technologist offers a promising future. Wages arecompetitive with other health-care providers with similar educational backgrounds andthere are jobs available throughout Virginia.1

Factors Considered for Admission DecisionsAdmission to the Radiography Program is competitive and will be based on a rankingsystem that includes student performance on all of the radiography programprerequisites. Each student's past and potential educational achievement is measuredagainst all other students applying. Applicants must submit all official documentationand demonstrate minimum requirements for consideration by the posted deadline to beconsidered for acceptance. Coursework in progress at time of deadline will not beconsidered during the application process. Students meeting all of the minimumrequirements for admission are not guaranteed acceptance. Priority for admission isgiven to students who are residents of the PVCC service region (Albemarle,Buckingham, Charlottesville, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa and Nelson).Due to the large number of applicants, Radiography Program personnel are not able toschedule individual appointments to review application documents. In an effort toprovide students with the most current and comprehensive data, information sessionsare held throughout the fall and early spring semesters. During these sessions, theProgram Director will review the application process, prerequisites and the competitiveranking criteria. All applicants are highly encouraged to attend one of these sessions.This information will also be available as an online presentation. In addition, there areadvisors available daily in the PVCC Admissions and Advising Center.10
Evaluation Process1. Radiography Program applicants complete online Radiography Program applicationand complete all required prerequisites prior to May 15th deadline. Applications ordocumentation received after the deadline will not be considered. THIS PROGRAMAPPLICATION IS IN ADDITION TO THE PVCC COLLEGE APPLICATION.2. The Radiography Program Director conducts a preliminary screening of allapplicants to determine those who have met the minimum prerequisites and thus areeligible for admission.3. Applicants are ranked according to the following criteria in order of importance:a. The number of general education courses completed by the application deadlineb. The GPA earned in those completed coursesc. The number of science courses completed by the application deadline (BIO 141,BIO 142). These courses must be completed within the last eight years.d. The GPA earned in those completed science coursese. The quality of the radiography essayThe 300-word radiography admission essay is intended to evaluate eachapplicant’s written communication skills. The essay is prompted by a choice ofquestions and is completed in word-processing format in the PVCC TestingCenter by appointment. It is not a test of knowledge and cannot be preparedahead of the scheduled appointment. The essay will be evaluated using a writingrubric. The rubric used to evaluate Radiography program admissions essaysinclude:o Interest in Radiographyo Experience working with patients in a health care settingo Appearance/organizationo Ability to convey thoughts in essayo Spelling/punctuation and grammar4. Applicants will be accepted, placed on the waiting list, or not accepted. Notificationof status will be emailed to students’ VCCS email address on June 22, 2015. Lettersto all applicants will be mailed the week of June 22, 2015.a. A waiting list of qualified applicants will be maintained in the event that selectedstudents are not able to accept their place in the program. The waiting list willonly be maintained until the first week of August 2015 and is not continued fromyear to year. Students not admitted for their desired year will have to reapply foradmission in subsequent years.11
b. Students seeking readmission into the program or advanced placement transferswill be considered on a space-available basis. Applicants for readmission musthave submitted a letter requesting readmission by November 15 for springreadmission and April 15 for fall readmission. Students desiring readmission intoRAD 190 must apply as new applicants.ANY STUDENT WHO HAS TWO FAILURES IN CORE RAD CLASSES AT PVCC ISNOT ELIGIBLE FOR READMISSION. Details on program readmission are includedin the program student handbook.12
Frequently Asked Questions1. WHAT COURSES SHOULD I TAKE IF I AM PREPARING FORADMISSION INTO THE RADIOGRAPHY PROGRAM?Any developmental courses which are recommended as a result of assessmenttesting should be taken immediately. Developmental English probably should be thefirst developmental courses to be taken, if necessary. Developmental math coursesshould then be taken, followed by NAS 2, Foundations of Life Science, if necessary.2. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO COMPLETE THE PROGRAM?The Radiography Program curriculum can be completed in a 21-month time-frame.However, this full-time course load is a very difficult and time-consuming one,especially if the student has work or other non-school obligations. For this reason,many students elect to take many or all of their general education courses beforebeginning the sequence of radiography courses. The number of general educationcourses, particularly in the sciences, which have been successfully completed is oneof the factors used to make admission decisions.3. WHAT ARE THE COSTS INVOLVED IN THE RADIOGRAPHY PROGRAM?In addition to tuition and the cost of transportation to clinical sites and parking,students are responsible for the following items (estimated):In addition to tuition and the cost of transportation to clinical sites and parking,students are responsible for the following items (estimated):Books:Supplies:Health Screening: 2631 100 100- 500 (depending on health careprovider and immunizations required)Background Check/Drug Screen:Certification exam: 112 2004. WHAT ARE THE CLINICAL SITES FOR THE PROGRAM?Martha Jefferson Hospital, University of Virginia Health System, UVA Hand & SpineCenter, UVA Imaging and UVA Children’s Medical Center (Battle Building) aresettings where students do clinical rotations. Currently, all of these clinical sites arelocated within the Charlottesville area. Other facilities and agencies may be added atstudent or agency request. STUDENTS WILL BE EXPECTED TO ATTENDCLINICAL SITES THAT MAY BE OUTSIDE OF THECHARLOTTESVILLE/ALBEMARLE AREA.13
5. IF I AM TRANSFERRING FROM ANOTHER COLLEGE, CAN I GET CREDIT FORSOME OF THE GENERAL EDUCATION COURSES?Yes. Once your transcripts are on file in PVCC’s Office of Admissions and Records,you may request that the Registrar complete a transcript evaluation and send youwritten confirmation of courses accepted for transfer to PVCC. The TranscriptEvaluation Request form can be found online athttp://www.pvcc.edu/files/media/form transcript evaluation request.pdf6. IF I AM TRANSFERRING FROM ANOTHER RADIOGRAPHY PROGRAM, CAN IGET CREDIT FOR SOME OF THE RADIOGRAPHY COURSES?Yes. Once your transcripts are on file in PVCC’s Office of Admissions and Advising,make an appointment with the Radiography Program Director. The Program Directorand Division Dean will evaluate radiography coursework taken elsewhere. You maybe required to provide course outlines, syllabi and skills checklists in order todetermine what work may transfer. You will also need to provide documentation ofany clinical hours, skills and competencies completed.7. IF I WOULD LIKE TO ENTER THE RADIOLOGY PROGRAM RIGHT AFTER IGRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL, WHAT CLASSES SHOULD I TAKE?Students must be at least 18 years old on the first day of fall classes. Completebiology, chemistry and algebra I in high school, demonstrate strong academic skillsthrough your GPA and class standing, demonstrate (through college assessmenttesting) that you are ready to take college-level courses and meet the prerequisiteslisted in this booklet. All previously identified program prerequisites must becompleted by May 15, 2015.8. DO I HAVE TO TAKE SCIENCE AND ALGEBRA?You must demonstrate competency in mathematics through the algebra I level. Thiscan be done by the completion of developmental algebra (BSK 6, 8 & 9 or MTE 1-5),by achieving a Virginia Placement Test score showing proficiency in MTE 1-5, or bycompleting an approved college-level math course with a grade of “C” or better. Ifyou did not take a full year of chemistry in high school (and earn a grade of “C” orbetter) you must take NAS 2 (Foundations of Life Science) or a college-levelchemistry course (with lab). In addition, completion of the developmental Englishrequirements (by taking the developmental courses, achieving appropriate readingand writing placement test scores or by transferring ENG 111 or its equivalent) is aprerequisite for the science course sequence.9. IS THERE FINANCIAL AID AVAILABLE TO RADIOGRAPHY STUDENTS?Yes. There are a number of financial aid opportunities. For further information,please contact the Financial Aid Office (434.961.6545) at your earliest convenience.It is best to complete your financial aid application by March 31 for the following fallsemester. There are also Radiography scholarships available.14
A Message from the PVCC Math DepartmentRegarding Placement TestsDear Student,Please keep in mind the following suggestions as you prepare to take your placementexam. Most students place appropriately. On occasion, however, students are not preparedand do not place into the proper level. This letter is written especially to help prevent placingbelow your true level. Take the exam very seriously. The exam determines your starting level in mathematicsand, therefore, how many mathematics courses you will need to finish your program. Give yourself the time you need. The test is not timed! If you are pressed for time, comeback early on a different day and take the test when time will not be a factor. Use thetime to carefully and seriously answer the questions. A little time wisely spent on theplacement exam can save a semester or more of work! Brush up on your mathematics before the test, but don’t try to cram and learn thingsbeyond your knowledge. You can obtain practice problems from PVCC’s TestingCenter. The Jessup Library at PVCC has math texts on reserve for your review. Youmay also visit the PVCC First Quadrant Math Center for personal assistance prior totaking the math placement test. The Testing Center is located in PVCC’s Main Building,room M607. The First Quadrant Math Center is located in M253. Many students will have to take both mathematics and English placement tests.Consider taking these placement tests on separate days to minimize the effect of testfatigue. Test scores are valid for two (2) years after the date of the test. Students who takethe placement test and who do not enroll in developmental math are allowed totake one (1) retest within twelve (12) months. Students who attemptdevelopmental mathematics will be ineligible for a retest. In summary, do yourself justice and place where you truly are in math by being seriousand smart about your time.15
