Post Graduation Certification

After successful completion of the academic and clinical portions of the program, graduates are candidates for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) Radiography Certification Examination. Successful completion of the certification examination confers on the graduate the right to use the title "Registered Technologist" and the abbreviation "R.T.". Individuals registered by the ARRT may use the following designation after their name: R.T. (R) (ARRT).

The ARRT application for certification asks: “Have you ever been convicted of a misdemeanor or felony?” Anyone who answers “Yes” must provide a detailed explanation and official court documentation of the charges including the nature of the conviction, the sentence imposed by the courts, and the current status of the sentence. The ARRT investigates all potential violations in order to determine eligibility.

Shore Medical Center School of Radiologic Technology requires all misdemeanors or felonies to be evaluated by the ARRT Ethics Committee before application to the school. Once ethics eligibility is established, the candidate can proceed with application. Please note, clearance by the ARRT Ethics Committee does not guarantee program acceptance. Any felony or misdemeanor incurred while enrolled in the program must be reported to the Program Director immediately. Failure to report this information will result in dismissal from the program.

A graduate must be licensed in the State of New Jersey to be employed as a Radiologic Technologist. Upon successful completion of the ARRT certification examination, a permanent license will be issued. The state application also requires information regarding conviction of a misdemeanor or felony.
