Radiography Program Policy for Transfer Studentrs
In addition to the Transfer policy published in the CCC and TI Catalog, students applying for transfer into the radiography program shall meet the general admission, progression/dismissal, and graduation requirements according to radiography specific policies.
Due to a standardized radiography curriculum in the North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS), a lateral transfer from a hospital or university based, private or out-of-state radiography program cannot be guaranteed. Neither can a lateral transfer from an NCCCS radiography program be automatically assumed. Therefore, serious students need to be willing to spend two more years @ CCCTI in pursuit of their dream.
The radiography director evaluates the student's radiography transcript to determine the total number of possible radiography courses or credits allowed for transfer credit. Transfer students must meet the 2.5 GPA academic requirement in all RAD and related courses in the radiography curriculum.
In the best interest of the patient, radiation safety standards, and critical success factors, transfer students must audit even previously credited RAD courses completed twelve months ago or longer. (see program auditing policy guidelines for procedure)
Students who have been "dismissed" for any reason from another radiography program must plea their individual case to the radiography program's advisory board before being considered for transfer.
Lastly, student capacity is regulated by our national accrediting board (JRCERT), which does not allow us to exceed our maximum capacity under any circumstances. In other words, we can not create an opening for even a qualifying transfer student if we are at our maximum capacity.
