RE:
Application Process
Applicants are to be advised that background checks and drug screenings are part of the
admission and retention process due to specific contract requirements by the clinical agencies
used for clinical by the Radiologic Technology program. The background check will be
completed once the applicant has been accepted to the Program.
Applicants with specific conviction histories or positive drug screenings may ultimately not
be accepted into the Radiologic Technology Program. Positive background checks will be sent
to the clinical agencies anonymously for their decision as whether or not to allow the applicant
to perform clinical in their institution. Any one agency denial is considered a denial from all
agencies. The applicant cannot be admitted to the class due to the inability to meet course
requirements. Specific convictions or positive drug screens occurring after full admission and
matriculation in the program will be addressed per Department policy, including dismissal.
I would like to thank you for your interest in the Radiologic Technology Program and
choosing Florence-Darlington Technical College to meet your professional educational
requirements.
