Adverse Background - Criminal History

The University does not ask for criminal history information or perform background checks during the application process. The university relies on self-disclosure. However, the University is committed to maintaining safe environments for our students, faculty, and staff and may seek further information on past conduct, including criminal histories, as measures to help secure its campus communities.

Prospective students may be ineligible into some programs that lead to licensure if they have self-disclosed a criminal conviction. Alternative programs may be discussed with an enrollment advisor and/or guidance from the College Dean unless the student’s stated objective is other than licensure.

Some programs may still have specific requirements after acceptance and enrollment that require background checks and this information can be found within the catalog. Please make sure to read each program's specific admission and/or licensure requirements.
