A declared student is a registered or registry-eligible radiologic technologist who is seeking ARRT post-primary certification for Mammography. The declared student is not currently employed in this specialty and needs both the didactic and clinical education components arranged by ACC to complete their ARRT post-primary application. The declared student will be enrolled in both the didactic and clinical components of the program. The Advanced Technical Certificate is only awarded if both the didactic and clinical courses outlined in the degree plan are successfully completed. A change in enrollment status at any point during the program will nullify the earning of the Advanced Technical Certificate in the discipline. Declared students will be eligible to enroll in the three didactic courses and two clinical courses.

1. Students will combine into a single pdf document the following items and submit to [email protected]:
   • Print and fill out the Radiology Application Technical Certificates Application Form.
   • 1-page immunization form for each of the four required immunizations
   • Information Session confirmation email, signed
     • If reapplying, you will need to resubmit the Information Session Post Test Verification
   • Unofficial copies of transcripts other than ACC (Official transcripts must be submitted to ACC Admissions and Records)
   • Proof of ARRT Certification in Radiography
   • Proof of Licensure with the Texas Medical Board
     • 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 the certification exam.
   • American Heart Association BLS Certification

An undeclared applicant is a radiologic technologist who is currently working in the field and training on the job for Mammography. These students do not need ACC to provide the clinical component. Undeclared means that only the didactic coursework is needed.

Undeclared students will not receive a completion certificate at the end of the program. Students must complete both the didactic and the clinical coursework successfully to receive the program certificate.

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 Mammography Technologist 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 you are a recent graduate from an accredited radiologic technology 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
