Professional Conduct:

All students are expected to behave and dress professionally at all times as a student of the Advanced Medical Imaging Technology Program. Professional behavior during classroom education, clinical rotations and personal activities will be monitored. In the event that a student does not behave in a professional manor the student will be subject to program dismissal. Clinical sites reserve the right to refuse clinical positions to any student not meeting their expectations of professionalism. If one’s conduct results in a student being removed from a clinical site but falls short of program dismissal, a reasonable effort will be made to place the student in an alternative site but a position is not guaranteed. Given the sequential nature of the curriculum, a student losing a clinical site may necessitate the student’s withdrawal from the program.
Background Checks Required:

The professional curriculum of the Advanced Medical Imaging Technology Program (to which you are now applying) will require you to provide a state and federal criminal background check, at the expense of the applicant as a condition of your acceptance. Background checks remain valid for 12 months therefore, you will need to complete one each year of your professional curriculum. Clinical sites reserve the right to decline clinical positions to any student who fails to meet their expectations of conduct. Do NOT submit a background check for the purpose of this application. Arrangements will be made to complete a background check per program specifications only if accepted into the professional curriculum. Details regarding this process will be provided to accepted students in July of 2026.The program and its affiliates will not refund any monies spent by the student should the student fail to satisfactorily complete a background check or fail to comply with the policies of the program and clinical affiliates regarding background checks.
Board Examination Ethics Review
If you have concerns about a potential ethics violation(s), consider requesting an ethics review before applying to the AMIT Program and applying for the ARRT and/or NMTCB certification examination.

Drug Screening Required:
The professional curriculum of the Advanced Medical Imaging Technology Program (to which you are now applying) will require you to complete a 12-panel drug screening, at the expense of the applicant, as a condition of your acceptance. Clinical sites have the right to refuse clinical positions to any student refusing or failing to meet the expected standards of a drug screen. Do NOT submit a drug screening result for the purpose of this application. Arrangements will be made to complete a drug screening per program specifications only if accepted into the professional curriculum. Details regarding this process will be provided to accepted students in July 2026.

The program and its affiliates will not refund any monies spent by the student should the student fail to satisfactorily complete any drug screening requirements or fail to comply with the policies of the program and clinical affiliates regarding drug screening.
Medical Requirements Required:
Students accepted into the professional curriculum are required to provide evidence of the following immunizations and testings. Arrangements will be made to complete immunization documentation per program specifications only if accepted into the professional curriculum. Details regarding this process will be provided to accepted students in July of 2026. Failure to provide evidence of inoculations and required testing is grounds for denying an applicant’s acceptance into the professional curriculum and/or program dismissal if the student has already begun the professional curriculum.
- Hepatitis B vaccines AND proof of serological immunity
- MMR vaccines OR titer – must show immunities are effective
- Meningococcal vaccine (ages 16-21)

- Clinical sites reserve the right to refuse access to any student failing to comply with medical andimmunization/immunity requirements. This may compromise a student’s ability to meetprofessional and educational requirements. As stated earlier, due to the sequential nature of thecurriculum, a student being dropped from a clinical site may necessitate the student’s withdrawalfrom the program.
Meeting clinical site requirements is in addition to those requirements of the University. Clinical site requirements may be stricter than University requirements. In those circumstances, studentsmust meet or exceed the requirements of both the University and the clinical site.

The program and its affiliates will not refund any monies spent by the student should the student fail to satisfactorily complete any medical requirements or fail to comply with the policies of the program and clinical affiliates regarding medical requirements.

Advanced Medical Imaging Technology (AMIT) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Screening Questionnaire

This form is required to be completed by ALL AMIT applicants.
Also, in order to ensure the safety of each AMIT student, please complete the MRI screening questionnaire on the following two pages. MRI Technologists work around powerful, high-field magnets, and thus in order to work in this environment, MRI Technologists and prospective and current AMIT/MRI students cannot have certain implants or medical devices. Implants such as pacemakers, brain aneurysm clips, and cardiac defibrillators may be deemed unsafe for MRI technologists and students. Other metallic implants may be permitted in an MR environment, such as hip/knee replacements, braces, dental fillings, and orthopedic screws. MRI faculty will review the questionnaire below to verify student safety.
