Criminal Background Checks
Criminal background checks are required for several health programs. Students may be prohibited from clinical education at specific clinical affiliates based on background check results which could prevent students from progressing in their respective health programs.
Health Field Responsibilities
Students may be required to care for clients in clinical settings (i.e. lifting and positioning patients, using both hands to perform tasks, reacting to emergencies, walking fast, etc.). Reasonable accommodations will be made to assist students with special needs, but accommodations which are deemed to threaten client safety are not considered reasonable and will not be granted. If you have questions, please contact Disability Support Services or the Dean of Health Programs.
