(Completion program for individuals who have a statewide articulated A.S. from a Florida public community college)

Limited Access
Admission Requirements

Acceptance to the university does not necessarily constitute admission to the upper division Radiologic Sciences Program. Separate application to the limited access program must be made directly to the program.

  • Criminal history information (background check) must be submitted. For Florida residents the criminal history must be certified by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE).
  • A personal interview is also required.
  • Student must complete a Statewide Articulated A.S. in Radiography program from a Florida public community college that is composed of a minimum of 62 hours of course work, including at least 15 hours of transferable General Education courses. Students certified in radiography and in good standing with the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) who have not completed a Statewide Articulated A.S. in Radiography program from a Florida Public Community College may apply for admission but are not eligible to transfer to UCF under the provisions of the statewide articulation agreement.
  • All applicants must have a minimum overall GPA of 2.5, and complete all program prerequisite courses with at least a grade of “C” (2.0).
  • Students must be certified in radiography and be in good standing with the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).

Degree Requirements

  • Students should consult with a departmental advisor
  • Many of the courses designated in sections 1 and 2 below may be taken at a Florida community college, and should usually be completed in the first 60 hours
  • A minimum overall GPA of 2.5 and a minimum grade of “C” (2.0) in prerequisite and major courses is required for admission to, continuation in, and graduation from the Radiologic Sciences Program
  • UCF residency requirement for Radiography: 33 hours
