Awarding, Maintaining, and Administering Accreditation

A. Program/Sponsoring Institution Responsibilities

1. Applying for Accreditation

The accreditation review process conducted by the Joint Review Committee on
Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT) is initiated by a program through the
written request for accreditation sent to the JRCERT, on program/institutional letterhead.
The request must include the name of the program, the type of program, and the
address of the program. The request is to be submitted, with the applicable fee, to:

Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology
20 North Wacker Drive, Suite 2850
Chicago, IL 60606-3182

Submission of such information will allow the program access to the JRCERT’s
Accreditation Management System (AMS). The initial application and self-study report
will then be available for completion and submission through the AMS.

2. Administrative Requirements for Maintaining Accreditation

a. Submitting the self-study report or a required progress report within a reasonable
period of time, as determined by the JRCERT.

b. Agreeing to a reasonable site visit date before the end of the period for which
accreditation was awarded.

c. Informing the JRCERT, within a reasonable period of time, of changes in the
institutional or program officials, program director, clinical coordinator, full-time
didactic faculty, and clinical preceptor(s).

d. Paying JRCERT fees within a reasonable period of time. Returning, by the
established deadline, a completed Annual Report.

e. Returning, by the established deadline, any other information requested by the
JRCERT.

Programs are required to comply with these and other administrative requirements for
maintaining accreditation. Additional information on policies and procedures is available
at www.jrcert.org.

Program failure to meet administrative requirements for maintaining accreditation will
lead to Administrative Probationary Accreditation and potentially result in Withdrawal
of Accreditation.
