Program details
Overview
Graduates of this programme can sit the national exam administered by the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists for certification, going on to work as radiological technologists producing images used to help diagnose disease or injury. Certified technologists can work across settings such as cancer treatment clinics, education and research facilities, private radiologists' offices, medical clinics and hospitals.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Competitive health-career program. Entry needs an OSSD, an equivalent, or mature-applicant status with at least 70% in Grade 12 English (C or U), Grade 12 Math (C or U), Grade 11 or 12 Physics (C or U) and Grade 11 or 12 Biology (C or U); MAP4C is flagged as possibly insufficient, with MCT4C suggested for a college-level math. International applicants must graduate from Pre-Health Sciences before this program will consider them; domestic applicants short of the prerequisites can use the one-year Pre-Health Sciences Pathway to Advanced Diplomas and Degrees and qualify by finishing with a 3.0 GPA and nothing below 70% in those courses. English at health-career level: IELTS 7.0 overall with 6.5 in reading and listening and 7.0 in writing and speaking, TOEFL iBT 5.5 overall with no band under 5 in reading and listening and 5.5 in writing and speaking (92 on the pre-2026 scale), PTE 65, CAEL 70 with 80 in listening, Duolingo 135, Cambridge English 185, LanguageCert 75. Selection: preference for Ontario permanent residents, application received by 1 February, then achievement in the requirements. Fanshawe also flags the physical demands — long periods standing, handling heavy equipment at heights of around two metres, lifting accessories up to 10 kilograms and assisting patients to move. Before placement: Standard First Aid with BLS for Health Care Providers, evidence of good health, a police record check with vulnerable sector screening, and a placement agreement.
Application Details
Start Date:September and January
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for Fall 2027 entry, applications open in early October 2026 and the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, after which later applications are assessed on a first-come basis until seats fill; non-competitive programs begin receiving offers from 1 November 2026, competitive-program offers go out by 30 March 2027, and 1 May 2027 is the usual deadline to accept an offer. International applicants apply directly to Fanshawe (CAD 100 fee) and face fixed document deadlines rather than a single closing date: for the current intakes, study-permit and conditions-met documents are due 10/15 August 2026 (Fall), 9/15 December 2026 (Winter) and 5/15 April 2027 (Summer); missing a deadline can mean deferral to the next intake. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
