5 Students who have been found guilty, by a court of law, or pled no contest (nolo contendere) to a crime, when conviction has occurred within the last 7-10 years, of the following crimes are deemed unqualified to attend clinical training. Crimes include, but not limited to the following: 1. Child or adult abuse 2. Sexual assault 3. Assault with a deadly weapon 4. Neglect 5. Mistreatment of residents, patients/clients 6. Misappropriation of resident/patient/client property The clinical affiliate may exercise discretion regarding other convictions. A criminal background check must be completed for each state the student has been a resident in the last 12 months. Both the criminal background check and drug test will only be conducted at the students expense after he/she has been accepted into a curriculum Program of study. The results of the background check and drug test must be obtained before the student will be allowed into the clinical site.

The healthcare facility will send in writing a statement whether the student has approval to attend clinical rotations within their facility. A student with a positive drug test will be dismissed from the Program for 1 year. This will count as one Program attempt. He or she may recycle into a Program only once. Upon readmission to the Program , drug testing at the student s expense will be required each semester until he or she completes the Program . Any student unable to attend a clinical affiliate will be required to withdraw from his or her Program of study.
