As required by some
clinical facilities contracted by LCC, all applicants to the Allied Health
Programs, including Nursing, Radiography and Respiratory Therapy, must submit to
a criminal background check. A
permit form for a background check will be included in the acceptance packet
for Respiratory Care students and must be signed and dated. The program director also may
request additional copies of official documentation of completion of diversion
agreements, etc.
The incurred cost of the
background check will be the student's responsibility.
All applicants will have
background checks evaluated by the director of the allied health program to
which the student is applying, according to the exclusionary criteria of
clinical facilities and the state licensing boards. A list of the exclusionary criteria is available upon request
from the program director.
Failure to submit to
this requirement will result in termination from the Respiratory Care program.
Any student with a criminal history who denies that
history by answering "no" to the question regarding criminal
background on the program application automatically and permanently will be
disqualified from the selection process, based on fraudulently presenting
her/himself as not having a criminal record.
Students
with criminal histories who desire licensure or registration in Allied Health
professions are urged to consult the laws governing licensure or certification
in the state in which they intend to license/certify prior to application to the
respective allied health program.
