Radiologic Technology Admissions

Delgado Community College is an open admissions college; however, acceptance into the Radiologic Technology Program is by selection. The Admissions Committee for the RADT Program reviews and evaluates each application on an impartial basis. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission into the program.

Students wishing to apply for admission to the RADT Program must submit a completed Online RADT application to the Division of Allied Health no later than February 15. Students are chosen on the basis of courses completed by the end of the fall semester prior to application deadline.
