Graduates are eligible to take the national certifying examination given by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). Previous conviction of a crime, including felony, gross misdemeanor, or misdemeanor, with the sole exceptions of speeding or parking violations, may result in denial to sit for the ARRT national registry examination. Therefore, any person interested in pursuing an education in Radiologic Technology who has any questions pertaining to his/her potential eligibility to qualify for taking the examination should seek guidance from the Department of Regulatory Services, ARRT. The complete program is only available at the Lancaster Campus. Some of the required courses are available at all of HACC’s campuses, as well as through Virtual Learning.
