A declared student is a registered or registry-eligible radiologic technologist seeking ARRT post-primary certification in Computed Tomography (CT) who is not currently employed in the CT specialty. ACC arranges both the didactic and clinical education components required for the ARRT post-primary application.

Declared students enroll in three didactic courses and two clinical courses. The Advanced Technical Certificate is awarded only after successful completion of all required didactic and clinical courses listed in the degree plan. A change in enrollment status at any point during the program will void eligibility for the certificate.

1. Students will combine into a single pdf document the following items and submit to [email protected]:
   • Print and fill out the Radiology Advanced Technical Certificates Application Form.
   • 1-page immunization form for each of the four required immunizations
   • Information Session confirmation email, signed
   • Unofficial copies of transcripts other than ACC (Official transcripts must be submitted to ACC Admissions and Records)
   • Proof of your current ARRT certification card with registry in Radiography, Nuclear Medicine or Radiation Therapy or a letter of recommendation from the Program Director, if you are a student in good standing or a recent graduate who is eligible to take a qualifying ARRT primary certification exam.
   • American Heart Association BLS Certification

An undeclared student is not eligible to earn the Advanced Technical Certificate. An undeclared student is a registered or registry-eligible radiologic technologist who is pursuing ARRT post-primary credentials in Computed Tomography, is currently employed in Computed Tomography, and would like ACC to provide them with the didactic, structured education requirements only to apply and prepare them for the ARRT-CT Exam. The undeclared student has made arrangements outside of ACC to meet the clinical requirements of the ARRT-CT application. The undeclared student will only enroll in the didactic courses. The ATC is only awarded to those who successfully complete both the didactic and clinical courses outlined in the Computed Tomography Advanced Technical Certificate Plan through ACC. It is the sole responsibility of the undeclared student to ensure they meet all of the ARRT-CT requirements to apply for the ARRT- Computed Tomography registry exam.

   • Print and fill out the Radiology Application Technical Certificates Application Form.
   • Unofficial copies of transcripts other than ACC (Official transcripts must be submitted to ACC Admissions and Records)
   • Information Session confirmation email, signed
     • If reapplying, you will need to resubmit the Information Session Post Test Verification
   • Proof of your current ARRT certification card with registry in Radiography, Nuclear Medicine or Radiation Therapy or a letter of recommendation from the Program Director, if you are a student in good standing or a recent graduate who is eligible to take a qualifying primary ARRT certification exam. 
   • Proof of Texas Medical Board license.

If you are currently enrolled in a diagnostic medical imaging program at ACC or another college or university, it is possible to apply to the ACC Computed Tomography program before you graduate.

Instead of providing your TMB-GMRT (Texas Medical Board General Medical Radiologic Technologist) card and ARRT registry card, you will need a signed letter from the department chair of your program. The letter should indicate the following:

• Student’s name
• College or University name
• Expected date of graduation
• Contact information for the current educational program
• State that you are in good standing and likely to graduate with your class
• State that you are not currently on academic probation
• State that you are not currently involved in any progressive disciplinary actions

ACC students can contact Department Chair Kate Whiting at [email protected] for the letter.

If a recent graduate from an accredited Radiologic Technology, Nuclear Medicine or Radiation Therapy program, you must submit in lieu of your license/registry a letter from your Program Director on school letterhead with the following information:

• Student’s name
• Program name and degree earned
• Date of graduation
• Eligible to take registry exam
