This completed application portfolio must be submitted to the Nuclear Medicine Program director no later than May 31 for consideration for admission into the fall semester of the same year.

Any portfolio submitted after this deadline will automatically be considered for admission into the fall semester of the next calendar year.

     2.  During the month of June of each year, the Nuclear Medicine program director will review all applicants that have submitted complete portfolios since May 31 of the previous calendar year.

During this review process, points earned by each applicant will be totaled. The applicants with the highest total points will fill the allotted openings for students to be admitted into the Nuclear Medicine class that will begin training with the start of the next Fall semester.

Points are earned the following way :

A. Completion of required Nuclear Medicine General Education, related and basic courses as listed in the general catalog or the application.

Each “A” earns 10 points
Each “B” earns 6 points
Each “C” earns 2 points
Each “D” earns 0 points

B. Completion of all required basic & related coursework earns 10 points total.

C. Completion of any Bachelor or higher degree earns 10 points total.

D. Honors recognition in high school or college earns 5 points total. (Documentation of honors is required.)

E. If student is lacking and currently enrolled in one of the required basic or related courses at the time the application is due, then the program will assume that the student will earn a 'B' in the course they are currently enrolled in.  Student must show documentation on a transcript.

F.  Applicants who provide documentation that they are a paramedic, certified EMT, certified nurse assistant, LVN, or RN will receive 10 points.

NOTE: The applicant may update his or her portfolio as late as May 31 of the calendar year in which the portfolio will be reviewed for points.

 

     3.  During June of the same year the program director will contact each applicant who submitted a portfolio as to the total points they earned. If the applicant ranks within the highest number of applicants to be admitted that year, he or she will receive an appointment to begin the Nuclear Medicine program with the start of the next fall semester.

If the applicant ranks beyond the allotted number he or she will be advised to reapply for the next year. Such a re-application must be made in writing through a letter to the Nuclear Medicine program director postmarked no later than the last day of October of the same calendar year. Following this date, all portfolios of applicant’s not requesting re-application will be discarded.

 

     4.  If one of the applicants selected for the program cannot begin the training program with the start of the next fall semester, he or she will forfeit their position in the class and will be required to follow the process for re-application if they wish to be considered for the next Fall semester.

In such a case, the person with the next highest number of points will be moved into the class. Each person in the applicant pool will be moved forward accordingly. This process will be repeated until all positions in the class have been filled.
