You should complete a Change of Major (COM) Form** and submit it to the Registrar. The form can be found here: https://www.citytech.cuny.edu/registrar-forms/Forms/Index

**Approval of this form will depend on completion of BIO 1101 or BIO 2311, with a grade of C or higher and a minimum GPA of 2.7.

The clinical phase of the program is 2 full years (Fall, Spring, and Summer Session I). NOTE: Before entering the clinical phase of the program, depending on a student's course load and academic plan it may take anywhere from 1 semester to a full academic year to complete the pre-requisite courses.

No. The program requires a full-time and day-time only commitment with no exceptions.

To be eligible for acceptance into the Radiologic Technology Program, students must:

a. Be a Pre-Clinical Radiologic Technology major as listed in DegreeWorks by the Spring semester deadline found in the college calendar.
b. By the end of a Fall semester, complete the 5 (or 4) required prerequisites—BIO 1101 (If required), BIO 2311, MAT 1275 or MAT 1275CO, RAD 1124 and ENG 1101, or ENG 1101CO or ENG 1101ML. *See #6 below for more information concerning RAD 1124.
c. Complete the Radiologic Technology Application for Program Admission Form by the due date listed on the program’s website effective Spring 2025.
d. If a transfer student, complete one full semester at City Tech. Note that summer or winter sessions are not considered a full semester.
e. Have an cumulative (overall) minimum GPA of 2.7 on your City Tech transcript.

Once the above eligibility requirements are met, students may then be considered for admission into the program by the Selection Committee during the Spring semester. Students seeking admission into the clinical phase of the program will be reviewed by the Selection Committee based on their cumulative (overall) GPA reflected on their City Tech transcript and GPA of the prerequisite courses.

NOTE: A new class is selected only once a year to begin in the Fall semester. The selection process for the clinical phase of the program occurs in the prior Spring semester. Therefore, all eligibility requirements must be completed by the end of the Fall semester prior to the Spring selection.

Effective in the Spring 2026 semester for those seeking admission for the Fall 2027 cohort and forward, note that the course now has specific prerequisites and/or corequisite as follows: Prerequisite: ENG 1101 or ENG 1101CO or ENG 1101ML Pre or Corequisite: BIO 2311

There is no set GPA for admittance as the minimum GPA varies from year to year. A competitive GPA is required based on the cumulative (overall) GPA reflected in the student’s City Tech transcript as well as the GPA of the prerequisite courses. The minimum GPA to be eligible for admission consideration is 2.7.

a. If a student scored 85% or higher on the NYS Regent's Exam or
b. If a student has already completed BIO 2311 Anatomy and Physiology I lecture and lab, which is a more advanced biology course with a grade of C or higher and taken within 5 years of program entry.

Note: To fulfill this missing requirement, a student may choose any 4-credit Scientific World course listed under CUNY Pathways to replace the 4-credit BIO 1101 course. If a 4-credit Scientific World course has already been completed, an additional course is not necessary. Please see this link for more information: https://www.citytech.cuny.edu/pathways/flexible-core.aspx

Yes. If BIO 2311 and 2312 have been taken more than 5 years, the courses should be taken again. Contact the BIO Department for permission. If either course was taken at a non-CUNY school, then an unofficial transcript must be submitted to verify that the course was taken within the 5 year limit.

Employment is the single greatest cause of failure in the program. Students who work are at risk of failing one or more RAD courses and therefore cannot continue.

Check CUNYfirst for blocks, contact the Bursar for a financial block or the Registrar for registration issues.

No. Only those students credentialed in Radiography or one of the imaging modalities listed in numbers 13–15 below may apply to the BS in Radiologic Science major.

No. However, students who have already completed Nuclear Medicine and are credentialed may apply to the BS in Radiological Science program.

No. However, students who have already completed Medical Sonography and are credentialed in that modality may apply to the BS in the Radiological Science program.

No. However, students who have already completed Nuclear Medicine or Radiation Therapy and are credentialed may apply to the BS in the Radiological Science program.

MR and CT are advanced medical imaging modalities. The associate program does not prepare students for the credentialing exam in MR or CT in these areas. However, the BS in Radiological Science does.

There is a residency requirement for transfer students. Students who transfer from other institutions must complete at least 1 full semester at City Tech (fall or spring) and meet all other academic requirements to be considered for the clinical phase of the AAS in Radiologic Technology. Note that winter or summer sessions are not considered a full semester.

The program currently has eleven (11) Clinical Affiliates:

• The Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center
• The Brooklyn Hospital Center
• Hospital for Special Surgery
• Maimonides Medical Center
• Mount Sinai Morningside
• Mount Sinai West
• NYU Langone Brooklyn

The department can be contacted through this email: radiologictechnology@citytech.cuny.edu or by phone at 718-260-5360. When corresponding with the department, it is essential that you include your EMPLID number.

The program's clinical phase is where the didactic/academic and clinical/internship courses are taken to satisfy the associate degree requirements. All students must be accepted into the clinical phase of the program to be able to register for any course with the “RAD” designation other than RAD 1124.

*Being a Pre-Clinical Radiologic Technology and Medical Imaging major does not guarantee acceptance into the clinical phase of the program.

No. To be considered for the clinical phase of the program, all of the criteria listed under #5 in Part I must be met. The program’s admission application must be submitted with the necessary admission requirements that must be met.

You may register for only 1 course with the prefix RAD prior to program selection, RAD 1124 Introduction to Radiologic Technology, as this course is a prerequisite for the program.

No. Even if you register for RAD 1124 for the summer session, you cannot still be considered for admission to the clinical phase for the following fall. All prerequisites must be completed by the fall semester.

No. The minimum grade required for this course is a C. If a student receives a grade of D or F, department permission is required.

If a prerequisite course is repeated, the higher of the two grades will be considered. Students must contact the specific department directly for permission to do so. The Radiologic Technology department cannot give permission for any non-RAD course to be repeated. Note that RAD 1124 cannot be repeated without department permission.

NOTE: Prior to registering for a repeated course, students receiving financial aid are strongly urged to contact the Financial Aid office.

Once a year, for the fall semester. The selection process is conducted only in the spring and those who are selected will then start in the fall.

The number of students selected each year varies depending on the availability of space in the clinical rotation sites.

You would be informed during the early advisement and registration (EAR) period in the spring semester through an email.

No. The selection process is conducted only in spring and those who are selected start in the fall.

To be considered for admission, all prerequisite courses must be completed by the end of the Fall semester prior to the spring selection. The selection committee reviews all applicants in the spring semester that have met all of the criteria listed in Part I, Item #6 for admission to the clinical phase of the program.

The schedule for advisement varies each semester and can be found on the department website: www.citytech.cuny.edu/radiologic.

The schedule for advisement varies each semester, and to see an advisor, students must fill out the Advisement Request Form.
*The schedule and request for advisement form can be found on the department website in the form of a QR code: www.citytech.cuny.edu/radiologic.

During an advisement session, students can expect the following:

a. Discuss program requirements
b. Discuss your academic performance

• Cumulative (overall) GPA from your City Tech transcript must show excellent overall academic performance at City Tech.
• Prerequisite GPA is based on academic performance in prerequisite courses only (ENG 1101, MAT 1275 or higher, BIO 1101, BIO 2311, and RAD 1124).
• Two Writing Intensive Courses Needed (1 in Gen Ed, 1 in major).
• Read carefully the Required Functional Abilities/Technical Standards (Available in the College Catalog and Department Website).

To prepare for advisement a student can do the following:

a. Note the dates of “open advisement” in your calendar
b. Make sure that you have your up-to-date academic
c. Transcript ready to email to us (unofficial copy acceptable)
d. Resolve any registration hold(s) if applicable
e. Read the schedule of classes in advance
f. Think of any academic or career-related questions or concerns you may have
g. Plan to register for class early

For general information, the program conducts monthly Town Hall Information Sessions which are led by program faculty. The dates these sessions are held are listed on the department’s website. You will have the ability to ask general questions at that time.

a. You are not required to take any other courses to remain active
b. You may take other program required general education courses (BIO 2312/2312WI, PSY 101, PHIL 2203); however, this may affect your financial aid while in the program. For more information, contact the Financial Aid office.
c. If no course(s) are taken in the spring semester, an Application for Leave of Absence form and/or an Application for Re-Admission may need to be submitted. Students are strongly urged to contact the Office of the Registrar to note the current college policy here: https://www.citytech.cuny.edu/registrar-forms/Forms/Index
d. Meet with your advisor to discuss academic options.

The Radiologic Technology program falls under the category of Licensure, Accreditation, and Certification rules where candidates must demonstrate competencies in both academic and clinical requirements for their credentials. Radiologic Technology students are to take the letter grade vs. the CR grade so that the Selection Committee would be provided with course grades to calculate the pre-requisite GPA.

A grade of CR would impact the comparison between students who have 16 credits vs. those with less. As a result, students with a CR grade are being advised to repeat the course. This ensures that selected students demonstrate on their transcript that they have the required competency in the pre-clinical courses and their eligibility for the clinical phase.

Again, it is not advisable to use CR for program required courses. This includes the RAD courses and any General Education courses listed on the Sample Course of Study form.

No. We strongly discourage students from reading the textbooks prior to starting the program. We find that it can be exceptionally damaging to our work in the classroom.

You should use this time to thoroughly review all materials covered in BIO 2311 Human Anatomy and Physiology I. You may start learning medical terminology. Begin with prefixes, suffixes, word roots, and combining forms.
