This checklist does not guarantee admission into the LLCC Radiography (RAD) program. It is to be used for guiding purposes only and to assist the student in determining if ready to apply to the program.
It is the student’s responsibility to notify LLCC Admission/Records/Registration when requirements have been met.
Admission and program requirements are subject to change.
- High school transcript with proof of graduation or GED certificate on file in LLCC Admission/Records/Registration. For high school seniors applying prior to graduation, a letter from a school official documenting the student’s ability to graduate must accompany the student’s application.
- Attend an informational session given by the Radiography program director.
- TEAS score of Basic or higher (TEAS scores are valid for five years and may be accepted from any location offering the TEAS testing) or have an associate degree or higher.
- Demonstrate placement into EGL 101.
- Demonstrate placement out of MAT 092 (within the last five years).
- Two years of high school lab sciences or two semesters of college sciences (BIO 101, CHE 100, PHY 100, BIO 107, BIO 111, BIO 175 and BIO 176) with grades of “C” or above within the last five years.
- Official transcripts from all colleges ever attended evaluated by LLCC Admission/Records/Registration. Students who neglect to do this, or delay doing this, may jeopardize their ability to apply to, be accepted to, or remain enrolled in a health professions program at LLCC.
- GPA of 2.5 or higher for all previous college courses.
- Documentation of a chargeback agreement. (Applicable to out-of-district students only.)
- Submit the Radiography program application with the assistance of an LLCC student success coach.

Residency criteria
Chapter 112, Section 103-17, of the Illinois Public Community College Act requires that whenever enrollment in a program must be restricted because of space limitations, a college must give preference to district residents. Consequently, admission to Health Career programs for students who live outside of LLCC District #526 vary per program based on space available and qualified applicant pools.
