Students completing the program in May are eligible to take the July examination which is held on the third Thursday in July. The deadline to apply is May 1st. It is the student's responsibility to complete the application process before the deadline. The appropriate fee must be submitted with the application. Students enrolled in and attending a board-approved school of Radiologic Technology who apply ionizing radiation to humans for necessary diagnostic or therapeutic purposes while under the supervision of a licensed practitioner or licensed Radiologic Technologist at the approved clinical affiliate of the sponsoring institution are exempt from the licensure requirements.
Students are exempt only for the supervised clinical assignments required by the program.
Graduates of the program who are seeking employment in hospitals or clinics but awaiting first ARRT examination results must make application to the appropriate State Board for a license and a temporary permit and submit appropriate fees. Applications are provided by the Director during January of the final semester. It is the student's responsibility to complete the application process, obtain the Director's signature, and submit the application with appropriate fees. Graduates must allow the ARRT to release their examination results in revocation of the temporary permit which cannot be renewed and may result in a loss of work in a hospital. Graduates may then reapply for examination but a license will not be issued by the State until all qualifications and requirements of successful completion of the ARRT examination have been met.
