programs at their sites have an acceptable background investigation on file at
the College.
Anyone required to participate in the educational activities at such designated
sites, through admission and enrollment or through employment, must consent
to a background investigation, and the results must be acceptable. Individuals
who do not consent to a background investigation or who do not have acceptable
results cannot remain as students in or be employed in the selected program.

Consent
Before any person can participate at such designated sites, the individual must
consent to a background investigation. The individual must complete and sign
the consent form, indicating understanding of the policies and procedures. Anyone

to participate in the educational activity at the designated sites.
The background investigation for students and all related recordkeeping will
be coordinated by the Division Office Coordinator; records will be maintained
in a secure file cabinet.

Privacy and Confidentiality
All files regarding the background investigation will be
kept separate from the student’s school file. The results

disclosure of background investigation results by any College
official may be grounds for disciplinary action.

established by the designated site. If the results are deemed
to be relevant or violate the requirements of the site, the
individual will not be allowed to participate in the educational
program or activity.
