Ethics Review Pre

Ethics Review Pre-Application Packet
About the Ethics Review Pre-Application
The Ethics Review Pre-Application provides an early ethics review of violation(s) that would otherwise need to be
reported on your Application for Certification and Registration when you have completed an ARRT-recognized educational
program.
This form is reserved for those who are:
• not yet enrolled in an ARRT-recognized educational program, or
• enrolled in an ARRT-recognized educational program and are at least
six months away from graduation.
Note that the review applies only to violations specified in the
Ethics Review Pre-Application packet; it does not apply to any
violations not reported or occurring after submission of the Ethics
Review Pre-Application.
Submission of the Ethics Review Pre-Application does not waive
any other ARRT eligibility and application requirements. An
Application for Certification and Registration must still be submitted
at the time of graduation.
If you are within six months of
your graduation, do not use
this form. Instead, submit the
information identified in this
packet with your Application for
Certification and Registration,
available from your program
director, along with the required
Application for Certification and
Registration fee.
