Accreditation
Mt. San Antonio College (Mt. SAC) is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and the State Department of Education. The Radiologic Technology Program is recognized by the California Department of Public Health and is accredited by:

The JRCERT promotes academic excellence, patient safety and quality healthcare through the accreditation of educational programs. Programs accredited by the JRCERT must demonstrate compliance with the relevant JRCERT accreditation standards: Standards for an Accredited Educational Program in Radiography. The Mt. SAC Radiologic Technology Program complies with the standards and has been granted an 8-year accreditation by the JRCERT through 2024.
The following information is intended to make students aware of the JRCERT STANDARDS and provide information on to how to resolve allegations of non-compliance. The program maintains a record of complaints and their resolution.
JRCERT Standards
A copy of the JRCERT STANDARDS and information on program compliance are available
on the JRCERT’s website at: https://www.jrcert.org/programs-faculty/jrcert-standards/
Reporting Allegations of Noncompliance
Individuals associated with the program have the right to submit allegations against
a JRCERT-accredited program if there is reason to believe the program has acted contrary
to JRCERT accreditation standards and policies or believes conditions at the program
appear to jeopardize the quality of instruction or general welfare
of its students. The allegations must reference the specific accreditation standards/objectives
with which you believe the program to be in non-compliance.
Important Notes for Reporting Allegations
The JRCERT cannot advocate on behalf of any one student. An investigation into allegations
of noncompliance addresses only the program’s compliance with accreditation standards
and will not affect the status of any individual student. The investigation process
may take several months. The JRCERT will not divulge the identity of any complainant(s)
unless required to do so through legal process.
Reporting Process
Before submitting allegations directly to the JRCERT, the student must first attempt
to resolve the complaint directly with the Program Director or the Technology and
Health Division Dean by following the due process or grievance procedures provided
by the program or college. Refer to the Student Complaint and Grievance Process for more information on the college grievance process.
Any allegations of noncompliance with the JRCERT standards should be reported to:
Mt. San Antonio College
Radiologic Technology Program Director
or
Dean, Technology and Health Division
1100 N. Grand Ave,
Walnut, CA 91789
(909) 274-4750
If the student is unable to resolve the complaint with the Program Director or Division
Dean, or
believes the concerns have not been properly addressed, the student may submit allegations
of noncompliance
