GRIEVANCE(S)

Students are always encouraged to utilize their problem-solving abilities in resolving problems/issues that may occur in the classroom or at the clinical site. The student should visit with the student or instructor to resolve the problem. If a satisfactory solution cannot be reached, the student should schedule an appointment with the Radiologic Technology Clinical Coordinator or Program Coordinator, whichever is appropriate. If a satisfactory solution is still not arrived at, the student is encouraged to follow the procedure for Grade and Academic Discipline Appeals outlined in the Student Guide.


PREGNANCY

It will be the student’s decision to voluntarily declare their pregnancy status. Should a student declare pregnancy, radiation safety will be reviewed and a fetal radiation dosimeter badge will be assigned. A pregnant student may choose to remain in the program or leave the program and return the following year in a reserved spot of the program.
