Drug Screen & Criminal Background Check

Drug screens and criminal background checks are required by our clinical affiliates in order to attend clinical rotations. Students with positive drug screen, criminal charges, or criminal convictions may not be able to attend clinicals, and therefore will be unable to progress within the program. Complete information regarding the procedure will be provided at the program orientation.

Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, & Pertussis)

91Ó°ÊÓ does not require specific immunizations in order to enroll or attend classes on campus.  However, Health Sciences and Nursing programs require clinical hours.  Students admitted to an SCC Health Sciences or Nursing program must comply with the requirements set by outside clinical agencies, which may include a criminal background check, drug screen, physical, and/or specific vaccines.  Decisions about an individual student’s presence in the clinical environment are made by the clinical agencies.

We are guests in our clinical facilities and in order to have clinical privileges, must abide by their requirements for students and faculty. Notice of changes of agency requirements may or may not provide us with much notice.

If requirements are made by a SCC clinical agency and a student chooses not to comply, they may not be eligible to complete the clinical requirements of the program and thus become unable to enter or complete a course and the program.

Management of these requirements is reserved to 91Ó°ÊÓ employees only.  Students may not contact clinical agencies directly to discuss requirements.  Doing say may result in denial of admission or dismissal from a program.

All immunizations must be completed before program entrance.
