**When a Radiologic Technology student completes an application for New York State Licensure, and the A.R.R.T.(R), questions are asked about conviction of a crime and pending charges. These questions appear on both application forms. If the answers are in the affirmative, particulars and disposition of each charge must be listed. A conviction is not an automatic bar to licensure and registry, however, each case is considered and investigated on its individual merits.
