Radiology Major Course Registration

• Upon acceptance to Touro University, students must maintain their matriculation at St. Francis College. SFC is the home institution for tuition, billing, and financial aid. 
• To maintain matriculation at SFC, students must visit the Registrar’s Office (Room 6205) to enroll in a bulk 12-credit placeholder course (RADSCI TERM TOURO).
• Touro University sets the curriculum course schedule.
• Students eligible for financial aid will continue to be eligible. Students should complete a FAFSA application and continue to indicate St. Francis College as the institution. Students are financially responsible to St. Francis College for all tuition and fees.
• Upon registration students must also complete a FERPA waiver form to permit the Registrar’s Office at SFC access to final grades from Touro University.
  • The FERPA waiver will allow Touro University to report final grades in courses to St. Francis College.
