Criminal Background Check

Each nursing student must submit to a criminal background check conducted by Verified Credentials. This background check must be completed within the first MSN online semester (document with instructions). The cost of the background check must be paid by the student. A red or yellow background check, which may prohibit ability to fulfill practicum courses, may prevent admission into the program. A student may be required to submit a second background check for cause.

Additional background checks may be required by clinical facilities, and if so, the School of Nursing must comply with these facility requirements.
