PHYSICAL ABILITY

STANDARDS

In the interest of your own personal safety, the safety of patients, the potential liability to the university and clinical education setting, there are

significant requirements that must be met before your admission to the program is finalized. The attendance requirements and stamina demands on

the radiologic technology student require student technologists to be in good physical and mental health. Please read this form carefully and initial

each technical issue standard if you can comply with the standard. This form should be completed and witnessed by medical secretary when

submitting your application. This form must be submitted with your application. The form is located on program website at www.cameron.edu/rad.

CLINICAL SETTING PRIVILEGES

An applicant may be denied clinical privileges at a facility due to an unfavorable record with any health care facility from previous employment or an

unclear background check, or previous student denial due to unfavorable behavior probation or dismissal

UNCLEAR BACKGROUND CHECK NOTE: Without participation in the clinical rotation component of the Radiologic Technology program curriculum, the

student will be unable to fulfill the requirements for graduation from the program and therefore will not be eligible to take the National

Certification/Registry in Radiography, conducted by the ARRT.

Please be aware that the clinical education setting reserves the right to refuse placement of any student. If a particular clinical education

setting refuses placement of a student, the program will try to make reasonable accommodations to provide alternative clinical education

settings that meet program objectives, but may not be able to, especially if that clinical education setting provides hard to obtain

competencies which would prevent the student from passing the clinical practice course. If more than one clinical site denies a student

access, the program will not be able to accommodate the student as they would not be able to pass the clinical practice course. A student

who is unable to meet the clinical requirements will result in not being able to pass the course and policies for dismissal may apply. To

receive a clinical placement in educational settings, you must comply with all the requirements and all findings must be satisfactory.

UNFAVORABLE RECORD NOTE: If you have an unfavorable record with any health care facility from previous employment, the facility may refuse to

allow you to participate in clinical rotation. If this applies to you, please see your clinical coordinator immediately.

The university and clinical education setting reserve the right to review any other information prior to or during the course of the program,

that may have a bearing on the student’s ability to function safely. The ARRT reviews convicted misdemeanors and convicted felonies

which may prevent individuals to take the national certification exam. The following is an example of the application questions.

Clinical site privileges

If an applicant is denied clinical privileges at a facility, and that denial deems them unable to meet clinical objectives, the applicant will be unable to

complete the program and unable to take the certification exam.

10. CLINICAL ROTATIONS

Clinical rotations will follow hospital/clinic various shift rotations (8.5 hours with 1 hour lunch) during 6 am – 10 pm to include evening and possible

weekend rotations. Please refer to academic calendar.

•

Clinical rotations will be up to 1 month in duration and provides equitable learning opportunities for all students regarding learning activities and

clinical

assignments.

• Students will rotate through all clinical education settings listed, and other education settings may be added to include out of town rotations

with evening and possible weekend rotations.

• Program limits required clinical assignments for students to not more than 10 hours per day and the total didactic and clinical involvement to

not more than 40 hours per week.

CLINICAL TRAVEL

EXPENSE

The travel vehicle and cost of transportation to geographically dispersed clinical education settings is the sole financial responsibility of students

13. TRANSFER/ADVANCE STANDING POLICY

Cameron University Transfer Admission

Transfer applicants must submit official transcripts from ALL colleges attended. An undergraduate student with more than six attempted semester

hours, excluding zero-level courses or pre-college work and excluding credit hours accumulated by concurrently enrolled high school students is

considered a transfer student

Transfer From Other Oklahoma State System Institutions.

A student may transfer to Cameron from another State System institution under the following conditions:

•

The student originally met both the high school curricular requirements and academic performance standards for admission to Cameron and

has a grade point average high enough to meet Cameron's retention standards, or

•

The student originally met the high school curricular requirements but not the academic performance standards for admission to Cameron

and has a grade point average high enough to meet Cameron's retention standards based on at least 24 attempted semester hours of

regularly graded (A, B, C, D, F) college work, or

•

The student originally met the performance but not the curricular requirements for admission to Cameron and has removed curricular

deficiencies, or

•

The student originally met neither the curricular nor the academic performance requirements for admission to Cameron but has a grade point

average high enough to meet Cameron's retention standards based on at least 24 attempted semester hours of regularly graded (A, B, C, D,

F) college work and has removed curricular deficiencies.

Transfer From an Out-of-State Institution.

In addition to meeting Cameron's entrance requirements, out-of-state transfers must meet the following:

•

Be in good standing in the institution from which s/he plans to transfer.

•

Have made satisfactory progress (an average grade of "C" or better or met Cameron's retention standards, whichever is higher) in the

institution from which s/he plans to transfer.

•

Students transferring from institutions not accredited by a regional association may have credits transferred by meeting the Oklahoma State

Regents for Higher Education requirements.

Admission of Students Suspended From Other Institutions.

A student suspended for academic reasons from other institutions may appeal for admission to Cameron. Information regarding this policy and

appeal procedures may be obtained from the Admissions Office.

Transfer Probation

Students who do not meet the academic criteria including curricular requirements as stated above under the transfer categories, but who have

not been formally suspended, may be admitted as "transfer probation" students. If grade point average (GPA) is less than 2.0, student will be

admitted as a “transfer probation” student. Students seeking admission in this category must meet with an Admissions Officer regarding procedures

and enrollment conditions.

Admission of Oklahoma State System Associate of Arts and Associate of Science Graduates. Students who have completed the requirements for

an Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree at an Oklahoma State System institution will be accepted as having fulfilled the general

education requirements for Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degrees. Additional requirements will be required when (1) prerequisites for

upper division courses are lacking, (2) grade levels required by Cameron have not been attained, or (3) professional licensing or certifying agencies

requirements exceed the junior college general education requirements.

Transfer Policy for the Radiologic Technology Program

A new student can be considered for transfer:

If all of the current authorized student positions are not occupied;

If the applicant is transferring from an approved JRCERT Radiologic Technology Program in radiography.

Along with the applicant’s transcript, the previous program will specify the credit/achievement of the student including; courses taken, clinical

experience, beginning and termination dates, attendance records and grades. A determination will be made at this time as to whether the

applicant’s completed course work is equivalent with Cameron University curriculum and the Associate in Applied Science Degree in Radiologic

Technology. The applicant will then be advised if they should complete the transfer procedure. Any student whose transferred courses and/or

grades do not fulfill the requirements of this program may apply for acceptance into the next class of students.

Must meet all required college courses, assessments, certifications, official transcripts, and re-admission processes, admission policies’ criteria

and clinical obligations for Cameron University.

According to the ARRT Application for Certification in Radiography to authenticate endorsements of ARRT requirements, students will be required during the

school year to validate those ARRT requirements for graduation, by redoing all prior achieved clinical competencies from current JRCERT Radiography Program

obtained in addition to mandatory clinical competencies identified within this university's current Radiologic Technology Clinical Handbook. Mandatory

demonstration of competency requirements as identified in the Radiography Didactic and Clinical Competency Requirements document in place by the

program will be mandatory for all transfer, or readmitted students at the time of program completion. This will establish foundational radiologic science

principles on the ARRT's national certification in radiography and assure educational success.

ADVANCED

STANDING:

ARRT has stopped accepting advanced placement applications for the primary eligibility pathway for students who

have previous

experience and want to earn an ARRT credential.

•

For individuals who have completed a JRCERT accredited program and are seeking to re-qualify for the radiography certification, because of three

unsuccessful attempts to pass the exam or three years have expired and are no longer eligible may enter the program under the same readmission

processes, admission policies’ criteria and clinical obligations as a new applicant and will

need to complete all application processes.

•

If student has been out of a radiography program longer than one year, the student may enter the program under the same readmission processes,

admission policies’ criteria and clinical obligations as a new applicant and will need to complete all application processes and will start at the beginning of

the program. This will establish foundational radiologic science principles on the ARRT’s national certification in radiography and assure educational

success

PROGRAM ATTENDANCE

POLICY

Employers want dependable and punctual employees; therefore, the program has a strict attendance policy. There will be no makeup of seat time

allowed that counts towards the 5 days of absences allowed during fall and spring semesters, or 3 days of absences allowed in the summer semester.

Attendance = 40% of clinical grades.
