• Background check requirements for licensing and background restrictions for working in the occupation:

Background Checks

All students applying for admission are required to undergo a background check. The campus uses an unaffiliated service provider to perform these background checks.  The campus may deny admission to a prospective student based on the results of his/her background check, or may deny enrollment into certain programs based on those results.  The campus may also dismiss an enrolled student as a result of a criminal conviction during the student’s course of study.

Employers in many fields also require pre-­employment background checks of their own. Background check results unsatisfactory to employers in a particular field may limit a student’s employment opportunities even if that student has graduated from a program in that field offered by the campus.
