Supplemental Application for Radiography Program

BEFORE SUBMITTING A SUPPLEMENTAL APPLICATION FOR A HEALTH SCIENCE PROGRAM, YOU MUST SUBMIT AN ADMISSION APPLICATION.

The supplemental application, official transcripts from all colleges attended, and any applicable test scores (including SAT/ACT/AP if needed) must be received by February 1 to be eligible for the program.  Students must submit official transcripts from all colleges attended even if the courses taken are not directly applicable to the Radiography program. HCC calculates cumulative GPA from all college coursework as part of the scoring process (students who took classes at HCC do not need to submit official HCC transcripts).  All transcripts must be complete and show grades or outcomes for each class completed or the status of in-progress for classes that are in-progress at the application deadline.  Students must submit official scores for the ACT® WorkKeys® National Career Readiness Assessments by February 1. The assessments measure foundational skills required for entry in the radiography program. Applicants need to achieve a WorkKeys® assessment level of 5 in Applied Math, 3 in Graphic Literacy, and 5 in Workplace Documents taken within the last three years. Program acceptance or denial letters will be mailed by late March.
