Regional Medical Center School of Radiography (see Appendix A) provided that all course
grades are C or above.
GENERAL GUARANTEE OF OPPORTUNITY TO GRADUATE

encouraged to consider the Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) Individual Studies degree
program, and the coursework listed below. To be eligible for any Jamestown Community
College degree, students must complete at least 30 credit hours at Jamestown Community
College. All 30 Bradford Regional Medical Center School of Radiography career elective
