Examination

After the successful completion of the course in radiography, graduates are awarded an Associate's Degree in Radiologic Technology. Graduates are then eligible to take the national examination in radiography, which is administered by ARRT.

Students who successfully pass the examination are credentialed by ARRT, which enables them to use the title "Registered Technologist" or RT (R).

Upon the completion of the program, it is the responsibility of the student/graduate to obtain, complete, and submit the application for the ARRT.
