The counselor will assist in determining whether the Course Substitution Petition process needs to be completed. This process should be completed before applying to the any Allied Health Program. Students with courses from a California public community college or university may use the following links to determine equivalency of courses from outside institutions with Fresno City College:
If a Course Substitution Petition is needed, courses must be evaluated by each department for possible approval. The required documents to initiate the review of a course are a copy of the official transcript and the course syllabus. This is a lengthy process and must be done at least 2-3 months prior to submitting an application. All approved FCC course substitutions must be submitted with application.

Please submit with your Rad Tech program application an unofficial copy of the AP College Board scores for any course you would like considered to meet program course requirements.
