Bellin College evaluates applicants holistically utilizing a combination of educational, personal, and health qualifications for admission. Applications for prospective students will be processed in the Admissions office. All files are reviewed on an individual basis.
Upon receipt of all application materials, the Admissions Counselor will evaluate the applicant’s file for completeness of program specific requirements (personal statement, activities resume, high school transcript, college transcripts (if applicable), credit evaluation(s), and other documents as applicable). All students will be scored on a rubric to determine admissions eligibility and scholarship award. Students with 12 or more transferable college credits will have a credit evaluation approved by the Registrar.
- Students with 12 or more college credits will be reviewed as transfer students, but those credits must have been taken post-high school, not as college credit earned while in high school.
- Students with less than 12 transferable credits but who have completed at least 12 credits will be reviewed as transfer students.
- If a student has less than 12 credits, they are considered a first-year student and will be reviewed as such.
Students with more than one repeated course (a course taken more than one time) will be reviewed by the Director of Admissions and the Program Director of the program in which the applicant is applying to.
If information or requirements are not complete or satisfactory, it is documented on the rubric and then discussed with the applicant. Interviews are conducted via phone, Microsoft Teams, in-person or any method that is convenient for the prospective student for all medical imaging programs. A separate interview rubric is then scored. The score on the rubric indicates if a prospective student is accepted, denied, or needs further review.
If an applicant’s file needs further review, the appropriate Academic Dean and Program Director will review all the applicant’s file materials. The admission decision will be made collaboratively between the Admissions Director, Academic Dean and Program Director.
If an applicant is not selected for a direct entry seat for the program, they may be placed on an alternative list.
Non-Traditional Admission:
If a prospective student comes from a school that does not use a traditional grading system
and does not offer a GPA equivalency OR has graduated high school two or more years
prior to the term in which they are applying to the college will use the following:
- A Bellin College application with all applicable materials.
- One-page essay to a prompt provided by the admissions office.
- Two letters of recommendation from non-family members.
- Applicants will be required to have a meeting with the director of admissions and program director and or other appropriate college personnel.
To Consider School-Specific Information:
- School Profile: Understand the curriculum, teaching methods, and evaluation standards of the applicant’s school to contextualize their achievements.
- Transcript Evaluation: Examine the details of the student's academic records, even if they include non-traditional assessments like project grades or narrative evaluations.
The materials will be reviewed by admissions and the appropriate program director.
