Drug
and Background Check Procedure
Procedure: KCTCS
colleges are committed to providing a safe environment
for students, faculty, and staff. The KCTCS colleges
have adopted the following drug-free policy:
Being
under the influence of alcohol or other drugs or the
use, possession, distribution, manufacture, or sale of
illegal or unauthorized drugs is prohibited and is punishable
as a felony offense on campus or within 1000 yards of
campus. Conduct that violates this definition, poses
unacceptable risks, and disregards the health, safety
and welfare of members of the KCTCS college community
shall result in disciplinary action up to and including
suspension or termination. The KCTCS colleges are in
compliance with the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 and
Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act amendment of 1989.
The
term "campus" includes classroom, laboratory,
and clinical settings.
CLINICAL
DRUG TESTING AND BACKGROUND CHECK REQUIREMENTS:
In order to be admitted to off-campus clinical
affiliate sites, a criminal background investigation
and drug screening is required. This will be done at
the student’s expense.
The
program requires a background check prior to admission
to the first semester. Students will be provided a schedule
that will include a window of time during which the background
investigation and drug screening must occur for subsequent
semesters, and the deadline for results to be received
by program officials. In some instances it may be necessary
to undergo the background investigation and drug screening
more than once during the program.
