ATTENDANCE POLICY
Students are required to be in attendance for all class, clinical and laboratory sessions. Penalties for non-attendance and/or flagrant absenteeism and/or tardiness are reflected in a student’s grades and are outlined in the Student Handbook.

CHANGES OF SCHEDULE (ADD/DROP)
Limitations on section size and available instructional resources make it impossible for each student to arrange a schedule which will meet his/her personal convenience in each instance. The student’s academic obligations must take precedence over personal commitments, including part-time work. The program officials make every attempt to provide students with a schedule that is reasonable, but each student is reminded that attendance in the radiography program is a full-time commitment. Changes in a student’s schedule are made through the Office of Registration and Enrollment at the Schools of Nursing, Medical Imaging & Therapeutic Sciences or the Educational Director, Schools of Medical Imaging & Therapeutic Sciences. Student initiated changes in class schedules will incur a schedule change fee.

SPECIALTY ROTATIONS
During the second year of the program, students are assigned to rotations of observation in the specialty areas; i.e. nuclear medicine, radiation therapy, mammography, digital vascular imaging, computerized tomography/MRI and diagnostic medical sonography. Students are encouraged to research specialty disciplines and pursue educational programs in areas of interest. (The Schools of Medical Imaging and Therapeutic Sciences currently offers a program in Nuclear Medicine Technology).

Graduates are encouraged to enroll in baccalaureate programs following graduation. Currently, there is an articulation with Thomas Edison State College. Graduates have been admitted to Rutgers University, Kean University, Montclair State University and other four-year schools.
