School of Radiologic Technology - Regional West Medical Center

Graduation
To be eligible for graduation the student must:
• Complete each course with a minimum score
of 80% in order to graduate from the Program.
• Settle all financial obligations with the Program.
• Return all property belonging to the Program or
Regional West (name badges, radiation monitoring
badge, parking sticker, jump drive, etc.).
• Complete the required number of days. A
second year student exceeding the allowable
amount of time off (15 days) will make up
the time at the end of the school term prior
to receiving their Certificate of Graduation.
A student should not purposely schedule
himself or herself for more vacation days
than the allowed days. If make up time is
necessary, in order for the student to receive
his/her Certificate, this will be straight time
(one day worked for each day to be made up).
Any days taken in excess of the allowable
during the second year must be made up at
the end of the school term.
Any student failing to
complete the graduation
requirements will
not receive his or
her Certificate of
Graduation until
all graduation
requirements are met.
Students who complete
all graduation
requirements will graduate two years after
beginning the program. The length of the program
will be extended for students who have not
completed all the program’s required course
work. Graduating students are eligible to take
the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists
national examination for radiography.
Students are encouraged to obtain an associate’s
or bachelor’s degree from an educational
institution. Beginning in 2015 all students
will need at minimum an associated degree
as a requirement for eligibility for the ARRT
radiography examination. The American Society
of Radiologic Technologists recognizes the
baccalaureate degree as the professional level of
radiation science education.
Graduates planning to work as a radiographer
in the State of Nebraska must complete an
application for a license as a medical radiographer
through the Division of Professional and
Occupational Licensure with the Department of
Health in Lincoln, Nebraska. Other states may
vary in the requirements needed for obtaining a
state certification or license.
