Academic Calendar Example

The Radiologic Technology Student Handbook serves as a guide for radiologic technology (RTE) students accepted to Red Rocks Community College (RRCC). The handbook includes information about the grading system, clinical obligations, grievance and other program policies. Students assume responsibility for observing the policies as stated in the current college handbook, Radiologic Technology Student Handbook, and syllabi. These policies may be altered or revised as needed.

"I am so lucky to have attended RRCC rad tech program! Charlotte, the director of the program is absolutely amazing. She is a talented instructor, able to explain difficult concepts in a fun and interesting way. Teresa, the clinical coordinator was also great and always available if needed. Red Rocks has many clinic sites they work with which allows students to get a wide variety of experience. I was more than prepared for the registry and for employment upon completion of the program. Lastly, it is an extremely affordable associates degree, especially compared to other programs offered in the state. I tell anyone interested in x-ray to attend Red Rocks."

-Hillary Stafford RT(R)
 

"I really enjoyed going through the rad program at RRCC. I felt the teachers really tried to help us feel supported, yet gain independence at the same time. The most important thing to me was being prepped for the ARRT.. which this rad program has a great reputation for helping their classes pass. I also met my best friends here, and will now always recommend people to go back to school because going back honestly changed my life for the better."

-Whitley Canady, RT(R)
 

"The radiology program at Red Rocks Community College exceeded my expectations. The comprehensive curriculum and hands-on training provided a solid foundation for my career. The dedicated instructors fostered a supportive learning environment, and the program's emphasis on practical skills truly prepared me for success in the field. I highly recommend it to anyone pursuing a career in radiology."

-Kelley Stevens, RT(R)
 

I've been a Radiologic Technologist for over 40 years. I've worked in seven states in various facilities (i.e. hospitals, clinics, orthopedic surgeons office, etc.). I've been very impressed by the knowledge shown by the Red Rocks Radiology students. They've shown a lot of confidence in the clinical setting. I recommend their program to anyone interested in Radiological Sciences.

Q: Is it possible to maintain outside employment during the program? 
A: Due to the program’s rigor, students are encouraged to limit or avoid outside employment.

Q: What is the attendance policy like? 
A: Multiple tardies, leave earlies, absences, and no-call/no-shows result in course grade deductions. Extenuating circumstances may be excused. Program attendance should be the first priority above all other commitments. 

Q: Is it difficult to get into the program?
A: The number of applicants varies from year to year.  During high-volume, highly competitive application years, only the most competitive applications will qualify for an interview.  On average, we interview 30 candidates and accept 20 students every Fall semester.

Q: How are the applications scored?
A: Each category of the application is scored. Pre-req GPA = 50pts, Recommendation Letters = 20 pts, Personal Statement = 10 pts, Healthcare Experience = 10 pts, and Job Shadowing = 10 pts.

Q: What can I do to make my application more competitive?

  • Re-take pre-req courses for an A.
  • Get recommendation letters from healthcare professionals you’ve worked with or volunteered with, work supervisors in a healthcare setting, or faculty members.
  • Write a compelling personal statement. Convey your enthusiasm and potential to be a strong healthcare professional.  
  • Complete at least 10 hrs of job shadowing.
  • Get a minimum of 6 months paid healthcare experience providing face to face medical services to patients in a clinical, medical, or home-care environment as a member of a team of healthcare professionals. Patient Transporter is a popular entry-level option. 

Q: If I don’t get in, can I try again?
A: We accept unlimited application attempts but candidates can only interview twice.

Q: Is there a waitlist?
A: Applicants who are not offered admission after the interview will be notified if a space becomes available before the Fall start. To be considered for the following Fall, applicants must reapply.

Q: Will RRCC help arrange job shadowing?
A: We do not arrange job shadowing. If a site does not allow shadowing, inquire about volunteering instead. Shadowing at large facilities will provide the most well-rounded shadowing experience.

Q: When do pre-reqs need to be done?
A: Pre-reqs must be done by the Spring semester prior to Fall program start.

Q: Do any pre-reqs have expiration dates?
A: Yes. BIO 2101, BIO 2102, and RTE 1001 must be completed within 7 years of starting the program.

Q: When should I transfer pre-reqs to RRCC?
A: Candidates submitting an application must have all pre-req transfer credits submitted to RRCC by the end of December (the first month of the application window).

Q: How do you decide where to send students for internship?
A: Assigning clinical internship is a complex process based on a variety of factors. We do consider personal preference, but cannot guarantee top choices. We will however, ensure students get a well-rounded experience, going to multiple types of facilities.

Q: Do students get paid for interning at the clinical sites? 
A: No. The clinical sites provide training but not monetary compensation.

Q: Is the national licensing exam difficult?
A: The ARRT radiography exam is a challenging 3-hour exam. A Capstone exam preparation course is taken in the final semester. Most graduates find they are well-prepared to pass on the first try. RRCC has high ARRT pass rates compared to the national average.
