St. Francis College is partnered with Touro University to provide students with a comprehensive and quality education in the Radiologic Science program. Below is helpful information for students to be fully aware of and prepared for the program:

• Students enrolling at St. Francis College for the Radiologic Science major should also declare the Associates in Liberal Arts degree. Upon completion of program prerequisites, students will typically meet degree requirements.
• Once students are enrolled and taking courses at Touro University, they will attend courses at the Harlem location on 125th Street.
• Touro University only admits students for their radiology bachelor degree program with a Fall term start.
• At this time Touro University is only accepting students for the Radiologic Technology program

The recommended sequence of courses at SFC for students who entered before fall 2024:

Radiology Bachelor Degree Application Process

• An application to Touro University for the Radiologic Science program includes
  • Program Application
  • Be sure to read all instructions carefully and submit any supporting documents as requested.
• After submitting an application
  • Touro University will schedule and arrange for students to take the TEAS exam
• Once students have applied they will work with Touro University on the status of their application.
• NOTE: Admissions to the program is not guaranteed and dependent on the student's performance, review of application, and available space at Touro University.

Radiology Major Course Registration

• Upon acceptance to Touro University, students must maintain their matriculation at St. Francis College. To do this, they 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.
