NOTE:
Criminal Background Check and Urine Drug Screen
Upon acceptance to the program, student must complete a criminal background check and a drug screen through a company designated by the School of Nursing and Health Sciences. Students are subject to criminal background checks and drug/alcohol screens randomly or for cause throughout the program.
If a student is denied access to any clinical agency at any point in the program based on the criminal background check, the student will receive a failure in the appropriate nursing course regardless of the theory grade earned.
A positive drug screen at any point in the program will result in a “WF” in the appropriate nursing course regardless of the earned theory grade. The student will have the option to reapply for a subsequent semester upon proof of an acceptable drug screen.
