⚠️ Program Type

• This is a full-scope Radiologic Technology program that prepares students for national certification through the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).

• Selected Cohort Size:

  • 20 students assigned to the Marysville area

  • 5 alternates selected annually for potential admission if seats open for the application year.

• Redding Applicants:

  • Apply via the same process (no separate Redding campus)

  • Must attend in-person positioning labs (RADT 3A & 3B) on Mondays during the first Fall and Spring semesters. In person requirements for the second year of the program just not as heavy.

🎓 Admission Notes

• All accepted students and alternates are required to attend a mandatory in-person orientation in May

• Beginning in 2024, the all-day orientation replaces the former RT 55 course

• Failure to attend orientation will result in the revocation of conditional acceptance

• Alternates who are not offered a seat for the current year must reapply the following cycle and resubmit official transcripts. They will receive priority consideration the following year, but admission is not guaranteed.
