Once you have completed your application on-line, you may go back into the system and review your application status. A checklist is provided that is updated by the Office of Academic Records when they receive your required materials. These records are updated several times a week.
If you have faxed or emailed unofficial copies of your college transcripts to the Radiography Program, you will still need to send an official copy to the Office of Academic Records for your application to be complete.
Keep in mind that the deadline for all application materials is January 15th. The admissions committee will review your application once it is complete. Due to a limited enrollment number, not all applicants will receive an interview. If you meet the eligibility requirements for an interview, you will be contacted by the Radiography Program to schedule an interview. After the interviews are conducted, the committee will select the best qualified applicants to fill the positions. Letters will be mailed to applicants communicating the decision of the admissions committee.
If you receive a letter of acceptance, you will be asked to complete a series of tasks. The program faculty will send out the necessary forms in different mailings.
- Conduct a background check (instructions will be provided in your acceptance letter). Program officials in the Division of Radiation Science Technology will determine how adverse findings will be handled. UNMC has the right to withdraw acceptance to someone with adverse findings if these findings would place restrictions on didactic or clinical placement in the program.
- Conduct a drug screening test (instructions will be provided in your acceptance letter). Program officials in the Division of Radiation Science Technology will determine how adverse findings will be handled. UNMC has the right to withdraw acceptance to someone with adverse findings if these findings would place restrictions on didactic or clinical placement in the program.
