SELECTION NOTIFICATION
Letters of acceptance and non-acceptance will be sent out following the selection process. The
selection process takes place in November (after the document submission deadline of November 1)
each year. Students are notified by December 1 each year of selection status. Selected students must
confirm their intent to enroll in writing within 10 days after the post marked date of their acceptance
letter. A student who fails to respond in the appropriate time frame will forfeit their position in the
program.
CLINICAL OBLIGATIONS UPON ACCEPTANCE
If accepted, students will have a clinical component of the program to complete. Clinical placement
is equally distributed among students. Although the majority of the clinical component is carried out
during day time hours, less than 25% of the total clinical assignments will be during evening and/or
weekend hours. Program clinical locations are mainly located outside the city limits, and all
expenses associated with travel are the student’s responsibility. Additionally, some program clinical
affiliates require drug screens (initial and random), criminal background checks, periodic
tuberculosis skin tests and specific vaccinations. If the student is placed in a facility requiring any/all
of these items, the cost will be the student’s responsibility. If the student did not submit the health
documentation (immunization, PPD, HepB Vacc., physical assessment, etc.) prior to acceptance,
these documents will need to be submitted to the RADS program director no later than February 1
following acceptance. Failure to provide this documentation will prevent the student from being
allowed to attend clinical settings. These absences will be unexcused and may lead to the student’s
dismissal from the program.
