Failure of Drug Screen or Criminal Background Check

Students who fail a University mandated drug screen or criminal background check will not be permitted to apply for any clinical program until the record is cleared as verified by the Health and Wellness Office. This policy applies as well to enrollment in any course with a clinical component. The Health and Wellness Office will accept reports only from approved agencies. Students denied admission may reapply after a period of one full year following appropriate and documented treatment (or resolution of the problem) and follow up and presentation of a negative drug screen at a University designated facility and at a time appointed by the University.
