Frequently Asked Questions
How do I apply to the program? To begin the process you must apply to the University.
All applicants must submit their undergraduate application to the Admissions Office or Center for Adult and Part-Time Students application (CAPS students are 22 years of age or older), high school transcripts, any previous college transcripts, ACT or SAT test scores. You can apply to the University on-line at www.xavier.edu/apply . After you have been accepted as an undergraduate student, your acceptance letter will instruct you to contact the Radiologic Technology Program.
Where can I find the RT application forms? You can request the RT Fact Sheet by calling the Admissions Office at (513) 745-3301. This fact sheet will include the RT application form. You must return the RT application to: Xavier University, Radiologic Technology Program, 3800 Victory Parkway, Cincinnati, 45207-7332.
When does the program begin?
The RT program starts on August 1 of each year. Students cannot start the program after this starting date. The class beginning on August 1, 2009 is filled so applications will be considered for the August 2010 class.
If you are accepted into the University but placed on the waiting list for the RT program, you can start working toward a Bachelor's Degree in Liberal Arts. Please call (513) 745-3358 for more details.
Can my previous college transcripts transfer into the program?
The program has students with various backgrounds. Some of our students are right back of high school, some with one to two years of college, and some already have a bachelor's degree. When you submit your college transcript(s), the Registrar's Office will review them for same course equivalent at Xavier University. For an example, if you have taken English Composition, Sociology, History, Psychology or Human Anatomy and Physiology you can transfer those credits into the RT program. However, the Radiologic Courses must be taken at Xavier and in sequence so it will take two years to complete the program.
Transfers students into the RT program may want to look into the option of towards a bachelor degree at the same they are completing their associate degree. Call the Program Director for more details at (513) 745-3358.
