Background Check Policy
In most cases, licensure or certification
in nursing or allied health fields requires that the applicant
be free from conviction of a felony offense. This information
was provided to students prior to enrolling in the program,
and students were encouraged to direct questions to the appropriate
licensing Board (if applicable) to determine their licensing
eligibility status if their past history included a felony conviction.
Students whose background check includes an event that prohibits
them from attending a specific clinical rotation may be assigned
to an alternate clinical facility. The alternative placement
is dependent upon availability of clinical sites and supervision.
If an alternative clinical site is not available, resulting
in an inability to complete the assigned clinical experience,
the student may be dropped from the program. The student may
reapply to the program according to the program's readmittance
policies. Readmittance is not guaranteed.
These policies are in DRAFT form, and may be superceded by KCTCS
policy.
