Welcome Hello and welcome to UCOL and the Faculty of Health and Sciences and the Bachelor of Applied Science (Medical Imaging Technology) programme. The purpose of this handbook is to help and guide you. It outlines the course, its policies and rules. Read it thoroughly. For those of who are beginning this course of study; welcome. For those of you, who have already completed some of this programme; welcome back. Starting any new course can be daunting for various reasons. For some, it may be the first time away from home, family, friends and familiar surroundings; thus presenting many challenges on top of those academic ones related to studying at a degree level. Meeting those challenges is all part of your development and I am confident you will be just as capable of doing so as your predecessors. An undergraduate education may be quite different from anything you have encountered before. The responsibility for learning is firmly placed on your shoulders. This means there is a fundamental need for you to be self-motivated and diligent. The MIT team teaching you in the coming years is committed to your development and will do its best to provide a supportive learning environment for both the group and the individual, but at the end of the day the responsibility and credit for success will lie with you. Medical Imaging Technology (MIT) is an exciting and interesting area to study. It encompasses topics including many new imaging modalities. Here at UCOL, we also promote modern and proven clinical practices. The MIT team has a commitment to keep the degree course current, and to that end, course content may sometimes change to maintain currency. The course at UCOL also promotes and reinforces optimum care of patients and acknowledges the role of the patients in your studies. As a Medical Radiation Technologist (MRT) your principle role will be the care of the patient. Thus your professional goal will be to contribute to a quality team of health professionals and success will be measured by a successful clinical outcome in which you have played your part. As an academic centre, UCOL offers you a knowledgeable MIT teaching team which is rich in clinical, academic and educational expertise in order to provide support for you in numerous clinical centres around New Zealand as well as at UCOL’s Palmerston North campus. Finally, I wish you well in your studies. I am confident that you will emerge from this course as a competent technologist, with the knowledge and skills necessary to practise independently and ready to work nationally and internationally as a caring professional MRT.

MA4030 Bachelor of Applied Science (Medical Imaging Technology) 14Aims
The aims of this Programme are to:
• Develop practitioners who are highly competent in the field of Medical Radiation Technology
and who go about their work with a high degree of professionalism.
• Provide learning opportunities which:
– Enable you to become safe, knowledgeable and competent beginning level MRT
practitioners.
– Foster attitudes and values of professionalism that create a foundation for personal
growth.
– Incorporate patient well-being and communication as core values in the context of a
science curriculum.
• Provide you with knowledge of the principles, techniques and applications of medical imaging.
• Provide basic practical skills so that graduates in the clinical environment develop the ability
to perform medical radiation imaging procedures at a high standard.
• Provide in-depth knowledge of the appearances on medical images of anatomy and pathology,
so that graduates are able to make appropriate professional assessment of the diagnostic
quality of the images obtained.
• Provide a scientific basis for the understanding, use and performance evaluation of present
medical imaging equipment.
• Enable the graduate to adjust effectively to developments in medical imaging and related
fields.
• Develop a professional attitude of self-assessment, scientific enquiry and relations with
others; this embraces the aim of developing a desire to utilise scientific procedures in the
advancement of medical imaging.
• Develop a genuine concern for the welfare of patients, both as regards good professional
practice and an understanding of the patient on a personal level.
• Provide an appropriate foundation for postgraduate studies.
Graduation Requirements
A passing grade (‘C’ or better) must be achieved in all courses.
Compulsory Academic Requirements (CAR)
Complete at least 95% of the clinical practice hours to pass a clinical related course (as specified in
relevant courses). That is, accumulate a minimum of 2280 hours over the three years in clinical (as
specified by the registration body).
Off-Campus Learning
At times your lecturer may wish to take the class to an exhibition or workshop that will be beneficial
to your learning and creative development.
UCOL has systems in place to ensure your safety and welfare.
Any documentation related to the safety of the off-campus activity will be forwarded to you prior to
the event.
This programme has a significant practicum component of 2400 hours.

MA4030 Bachelor of Applied Science (Medical Imaging Technology) 15Absence from Clinical Experience (Refer also to your Clinical Manual) A significant and crucial component of learning within the programme occurs during clinical experience. You are required to attend every day of clinical experience at the specified time and for the full duration of the planned experience. If, for any reason you expect to be either late, or unable to attend the clinical experience, the protocol set out in the Clinical Manual must be followed. Staff Studios The MIT staff studio is currently located in 4.3.02. Please use the phone supplied in the student studio. It is preferable that an appointment time is made prior to avoid disappointment. Students do not have access at any time to the staff studio. Restricted Areas Nursing Lab 4.3.09, Medical Imaging Laboratory 4.3.x-ray, Anatomy Labs 6.2.16 and 6.2.06 and Physics Lab 6-2-18. Personal Protective Clothing and Safety Equipment It is in your best interest to adhere to rules of use. Should personal protective clothing or safety equipment be required, we strongly suggest you to utilise them in order to keep you in a safe learning environment. Radiation Monitoring Dosimeters Radiation monitoring dosimeters will be issued to first and second year students. Take care of these. They must be worn in laboratory classes. You will be notified when the dosimeter is to be changed. If the dosimeter is lost (or you wash it), please contact your laboratory supervisor. Replacement cost is approximately $35.00 per badge. Programme Materials and Costs Most materials needed to complete your learning will be provided with the following exceptions: - Scientific calculator, a UCOL tunic for clinical centre, textbooks, stationery. It is hugely advantageous to have the use of a home computer and to have a USB computer memory flash drive to transfer academic information onto it. You may be asked to pay for lost or damaged equipment if that occurs due to your negligence. *Note: All equipment and books belonging to UCOL must be returned and debts settled before you can receive your degree.

MA4030 Bachelor of Applied Science (Medical Imaging Technology) 19Programme Assessment
Assessment Methodology
Assessments used in the Bachelor of Applied Science (Medical Imaging Technology) are intended to
enable you to meet the learning outcomes of the programme.
To identify your learning needs and to allow progress toward the achievement of learning outcomes,
both formative assessments (this is “practice” and does not receive marks) and summative
assessments (marked, and you receive grades) will be utilised.
At the beginning of each unit of study, you will receive a statement outlining the assessment
requirements of the course. All assessments must be completed, unless you have made formal
submission and have received credit for previous achievement.
There is no one method that can reliably assess all learning outcomes, or all types of learning,
therefore a variety of strategies will be used. These will include assessments created by the lecturers,
clinical tutors and MRT staff, as well as formative self-assessment to assist you to identify strengths,
recognise limitations and define learning needs.
Your ability to demonstrate increasing levels of clinical ability and skill must be commensurate with
the appropriate level of medical imaging technology and will be assessed by competency and
practicum criteria and standards.
You will be assessed according to the learning outcomes outlined in each course.
Grading Scale
Grades will be allocated in accordance with the UCOL Academic Statute.
Clinical assessment is competency-based. The results for courses are specified as follows:
P Pass/Complete
CR Credit gained through the recognition of prior learning
N/A Not Achieved. Incomplete (ie, did not complete programme successfully)
F Ungraded Fail (no assessment undertaken)
W Withdrawn
DNC Did not complete both all compulsory assessments and CAR
Academic assessment is achievement-based. The results for courses are specified as follows:
A (+/-) Pass with distinction
B (+/-) Pass with merit
C (+) Pass
D Fail
E Fail
F Ungraded Fail (no assessment undertaken)
DNC Did not complete both all compulsory assessments for a course and
CAR
(grade) (AEG) Aegrotat pass
CR Credit gained through the recognition of prior learning
W Withdrawn
R Restricted Pass
CO Conceded Pass
Faculty of Health and Sciences - Student Handbook 2021
MA4030 Bachelor of Applied Science (Medical Imaging Technology) 20CP Conditional Pass
The following percentages for each grade shall be used:
A+ 85 – 100
A 80 – 84
A- 75 – 79
B+ 70 – 74
B 65 – 69
B- 60 - 64
C+ 55 – 59
C 50 – 54
D 40 – 49
E 0 – 39
F Ungraded Fail (no assessment undertaken)
Te Reo Māori
UCOL acknowledges the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi and endorses the right of its students to
use Te Reo Māori in assessments. If you are fluent in Te Reo and wish to be assessed in it, you should
inform your lecturers of this at the beginning of the programme. See Assessment in Te Reo Māori
Procedure.
Schedule of Assessment
A schedule of assessments will be provided to you in your first class or is available from your Lecturer
in the form of a course outline.
Conduct During Assessments
During your study, you are expected to observe and comply with the Academic Statute and all
programme regulations. Plagiarism or cheating is not tolerated. Academic dishonesty includes:
Copying from or inappropriate communicating with another person during an exam or
assessment
Possessing any unauthorised material during an exam or assessment
Submitting any work for assessment that is not your own and whose author has not been
acknowledged
Copying another’s work
Collaborating with others in the preparation of material, except where this is an assessment
requirement
Resubmitting work without prior written approval of the lecturer
Turnitin, or a similar programme, may be used to determine whether you have committed academic
dishonesty. See Conduct of Examinations and Assessments Procedure.
Part VIII of the Academic Statute outlines the disciplinary proceedings that apply should you breach
these rules.
Faculty of Health and Sciences - Student Handbook 2021
MA4030 Bachelor of Applied Science (Medical Imaging Technology) 21Extensions
Extensions for an assessment can only be granted prior to the assessment due date in exceptional
circumstances. These circumstances may include:
Sickness – in which case a medical certificate must be presented to the lecturer.
Bereavement – in which case the lecturer must be informed as soon as possible.
Extenuating circumstances – these circumstances must be explained to the lecturer and proof
may be required.
An application for an extension must be submitted to your lecturer in writing using the Appendix 2 –
Request for Extension form at the back of this handbook. It can also be made in electronic form via
email which must include all the information required by the form.
You will receive notification of the outcome once your lecturer has reached a decision. Extensions will
be for seven (7) days only unless stated otherwise.
Where an extension has been granted, and the extension deadline has been met, no penalties will
apply. Your assessment will be marked and feedback provided in the same way as if the assessment
was submitted on the original date and time.
Penalties for Late Submissions
The following conditions apply to all late submissions of assessments that do not have an approved
extension:
All assessment work received after the due date and time, and not subject to a lecturer-
approved extension, will attract a penalty.
The penalty for late submission is the deduction of 10% of the mark achieved for each day
beyond the due date for submission.
The penalty is applied for a maximum of five (5) days.
An assessment received after one week from the due date for submission will be returned
unmarked and a zero (0) grade will be entered.
No late submissions may be accepted after marked assessments have been returned to
students, unless it can be determined that there will be no advantage to the student
submitting the late assessment or disadvantage to students who have submitted the work on
time.
Reconsideration of Results
If you believe that your assessment has been incorrectly assessed, you can apply to your lecturer for
a reconsideration of result within five (5) days of the return of the assessment. You must apply in
writing using the Appendix 3 – Request for Reconsideration of Result form at the back of this handbook.
You may be charged a fee for this process.
Your result may be unchanged, raised or lowered following reconsideration. The reconsidered result
will be recorded as the final result. However, you still have the right to appeal this result in accordance
with the Academic Statute.
Faculty of Health and Sciences - Student Handbook 2021
MA4030 Bachelor of Applied Science (Medical Imaging Technology) 22Resubmits and Resits
To reduce barriers to your success the MIT degree program has been designed to develop skills using
a systematic and sequential approach underpinned by a curriculum that promotes a three year
cognitive developmental process. A re-sit is offered if you have failed a course in the first instance.
This ensures that you have a fundamental knowledge of the principles, techniques and required
applications in a course/subject area, before continuing to the next level.
Theory Assessments
You are given the opportunity for ONE re-sit per course. This re-sit MAY consist of a
theory/academic test, an examination or practical work, and can only be attempted following
completion of ALL required assessments within the course.
The maximum mark recorded for a re-sit is the minimum mark required to achieve a pass for
that assessment. Note: If you fail a first assessment within a course, the course coordinator
will discuss possible outcomes with you.
Re-sits will be scheduled following completion of the course and within a timeframe that is
reasonable and consistent with the academic and human resources available to the degree
programme. This date will be usually within two weeks notification of failure in said course,
and within that academic year. Note: Because Re-sits are offered students cannot claim
aegrotat marks
Practicum Assessments
The clinical component of the programme has been divided into three courses with well-
defined competency levels and outcomes of measurable attainment. This constitutes
attainment within set levels of cognitive development and competency requirements.
Tests in Clinical:
You must show competency in each practical test. If the result of a first attempt is Not Yet
Competent (NYC), you can re-sit a practical test at a later stage within the clinical component
of that academic year. If the result remains NYC following a re-sit, you will be required to
undergo remedial tuition by the department(s) clinical tutor/supervisor. Only then can a
further re-sit be undertaken to show competency which MUST be with the same examiner or
clinical tutor/supervisor.
Competency must be demonstrated prior to the end of the clinical course. Failure to achieve
this will result in an N/A (Not Achieved) result for that course.
Final Clinical Exam:
With regard to the final practical exam (Competency-based Assessment, CBA), where you fail
the CBA, you have the right to ONE re-sit. A personal learning plan (PLP) will be put in place
with extended clinical time, at the end of which you may re-sit.
NOTE: Resit assessments with the exception of practicum assessments are normally carried
out on-campus. Transport and accommodation costs incurred by you resulting from a resit
must be met by you in all cases. In exceptional circumstances a resit may be conducted at
another centre.
An application for a resubmit or resit must be submitted to your lecturer in writing using the Appendix
4 – Request for Resubmit/Resit form at the back of this handbook. It can also be made in electronic
form via email which must include all the information required by the form. You may be charged a
fee for this process.
Faculty of Health and Sciences - Student Handbook 2021
MA4030 Bachelor of Applied Science (Medical Imaging Technology) 23Special Passes
If through illness, accident, bereavement or other exceptional circumstances beyond your control, you
are unable to complete an assessment or programme, you can apply for a Special Pass.
The four types of Special Passes are:
Aegrotat Pass: awarded when you are unable to present work for assessment at the time it is
due, you are unable to attend a test or examination, or your performance is seriously impaired
in a test or examination.
Conceded Pass: awarded when you have otherwise reached an acceptable standard in the
programme but have narrowly failed one course, thus affecting your ability to complete the
qualification.
Conditional Pass: awarded when you have marginally failed to meet the required academic
standard but in all other aspects have demonstrated an ability to meet it.
Restricted Pass: awarded when you have marginally failed to meet the required academic
standard for the course and, if awarded, does not qualify you to enrol in a subsequent
course/programme for which a pass in the original course is a pre-requisite.
If you are interested in requesting a Special Pass, contact your lecturer. Programme curriculum
regulations and other conditions may apply.
Academic Appeals
The academic appeals process is outlined in Part IX of the Academic Statute.
Inability to Meet Programme Requirements
Under certain circumstances, an individual study contract may be drawn up to encourage you to meet
programme requirements. Any failure to meet this contract may result in you being asked to leave
the programme.
If you have a serious health problem or other personal circumstances that impact on your ability to
meet programme requirements, please inform your Lecturer.
Remember, if you are having difficulties with your programme there are ways UCOL can help you. If
you do decide to withdraw, you must complete a Change of Circumstances Form. These can be
obtained from the Information Centre.
Progression Regulations
1. Except in very exceptional circumstances if you fail to achieve a pass grade in a course after
having a re-sit you will be deemed to have failed that course.
Students failing a pre-requisite course cannot be enrolled in any courses that the failed course
is a pre-requisite for. All practicum courses are pre-requisites for subsequent practicum
courses. (Please refer to the table on Page 10 for a breakdown of courses).
2. You cannot progress to the next programme year until you have fulfilled the following criteria:
a. Successfully achieved a pass grade in all clinical practicum courses in the current
academic year. The rationale for this focuses on the need to maintain psychomotor
skills in day-to-day clinical practice. A student, who has re-enrolled in a course(s) must
maintain, and continue to demonstrate as required, that their skills are consistent
with appropriate clinical (radiographic) competency thus ensuring patient safety in
the area of Medical Imaging.
Faculty of Health and Sciences - Student Handbook 2021
MA4030 Bachelor of Applied Science (Medical Imaging Technology) 24b. On an individual basis, the Academic Leader will discuss outstanding course(s) with
you and determine a path suitable to guarantee the theory-to-practice link is
maintained. You may be required to join and study with the lower group (cohort).
Note: Re-enrolment is subject to the availability of a clinical placement. For this reason, you
cannot assume that you will be offered the same practicum training centre upon re-enrolment

Appendix 5 – Code of Ethics (Medical Radiation Technologist Board, 2017, p.1 & 2) CODE OF ETHICS Introduction The Medical Radiation Technologists Board (the Board) under the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003 (the Act) is the responsible authority that governs the practice of medical imaging and radiation therapy in New Zealand. The principle purpose of the Act is to protect the health and safety of members of the public by providing mechanisms to ensure health practitioners are competent and fit to practise their professions. The Board sets and monitors standards in the interests of the public and the profession. The Board’s primary concern is public safety. This Code outlines the standards of ethical conduct set by the Board under section 118(i) of the Act. This Code complements the legal obligations that medical imaging and radiation therapy practitioners have under the Act, the Health and Disability Commissioner (Code of Health and Disability Services Consumers’ Rights) Regulations 1996, the Health Information Privacy Code 1994 and the Radiation Safety Regulations. The Act and Code of Rights can be found at http://www.legislation.govt.nz The Radiation Safety Regulations can be found at http://www.health.govt.nz The Code of Ethics for medical imaging and radiation therapy practitioners is a set of standards defined by the Board describing the behaviour or conduct that registered medical imaging and radiation therapy practitioners are expected to uphold. Failure to uphold these standards of behaviour could lead to a disciplinary investigation. Te Tiriti O Waitangi / The Treaty of Waitangi The Code acknowledges Te Tiriti o Waitangi/The Treaty of Waitangi as the founding document of Aotearoa New Zealand, and recognises and respects the specific importance of health services for Māori as the indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand. Disclaimer The principles expressed in this document reflect the values considered fundamental to the practice of medical imaging and radiation therapy in Aotearoa New Zealand. The aim of the Code is to cover areas of ethical concern experienced by practitioners. It is not intended to address all ethical concerns, nor provide solutions to all ethical problems. Practitioners are expected to exercise their ethical judgement and balance ethical values.
