General information about the radiologic technology application process:

• All radiologic technology program announcements are advertised on the SCC Radiologic Technology main webpage
• Only course grades of C or higher are accepted.  
• Application deadlines are posted on the program website.
• Students are admitted based on a ranking system that includes grades earned in prerequisite courses, information session attendance, and the student cumulative grade point average (GPA).

The Radiologic Technology Program usually accepts 22-24 students each year. This number is based on the number of clinical sites/rotations available for students as well as the Program’s accrediting agency, the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology.

SCC does not have a waiting list for admission to the program.

The application packets for non-accepted students are kept on file until the first day of the Fall Term in the event that one of the originally accepted students declines his or her slot.

Interested students who are not accepted into the program are encouraged to reapply the following year.  

The student must have a minimum GPA of  2.50  on the prerequisite courses required courses for the program to be eligible to apply. 

• The application process for the radiologic technology program occurs once per year as indicated on the radiologic technology program webpage and typically follows the end of the spring term.  
• The student must have completed at least one unit of high school biology, chemistry or physics, AND one unit of high school algebra, AND have completed the following courses in order to be eligible to apply for the radiologic technology program:

No. Students are provided a clinical schedule at the beginning of each semester. Clinical schedules include weekdays and weekends as well as first and second shift hours. The total number of clinical hours completed during weekends and second shift hours are less than 25% of the total number of clinical hours required by the program.

Students may have Monday – Friday second-shift hours as well as weekend (Saturday and Sunday) hours in addition to the Monday – Friday daytime hours. 

Many of our students have families, work, and attend school. The students are apprised during the program orientation of the number of hours required for the program so they may adjust work hours each semester to accommodate school schedules. Class and clinical schedules will not be adjusted for student work schedules. Students are advised to be disciplined and practice good time management skills throughout the program.  

Spartanburg Community College’s tuition fees are very affordable. Our Financial Aid office will be glad to counsel with any student who needs advice to apply for grants, lottery, or scholarships.

There are additional fees associated with the radiologic technology program such as uniforms/lab jackets, criminal background investigation and drug testing, CPR certification, testing fees, etc.
