Notes

To be eligible for enrollment in the program, the student must meet the following criteria: 

  • Complete the application process for enrollment in the MRI program. 
  • Fulfill all requirements outlined in the Advanced Imaging Modalities Student Guidelines including but not limited to background clearance, physical examination, immunization clearance and drug screening. 
  • Evidence of current certification as a radiologic technologist in the state of California. 
  • Students must purchase liability insurance and HIPAA training. 

For certified Radiologic Technologists, there are a number of advanced forms of imaging that may be pursued. This certificate is designed for Magnetic Resonance Imaging, commonly called “MRI.” This program will prepare the student for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologist’s MRI certification. Students must apply and be accepted into the program. Liability insurance must be purchased by the student as well as the HIPAA training during the program orientation. 

Zero Textbook Costs (ZTC):

The Zero Textbook Costs designation and logo are added to any course that provides free access to all required instructional materials. These are typically shared with students through Canvas. Courses that are designated as ZTC may still require students to purchase supplemental materials such as lab coats, a calculator, art supplies, etc. See full definitions and searching tips on the Zero Textbook Costs page of the college website.
