• Criminal Background checks must be clear and free of any charges. A student will not be admitted to the program if there is any charge on his/her background. Any previous charges must be expunged in order to be considered.
• Per our clinical facilities rules, students with tatoos will be required to cover them and all facial piercings must be removed.
• A student must be fit for duty at the clinical site with no physical restrictions. In the case of pregnancy, the student must have clearance from their physician.
