Criminal Background Investigation and Disclosure Statement

Criminal background checks will be run on all students at admission. Results of these checks will be reviewed by School of Education faculty and staff. Positive results will result in additional information requests and may be shared with staff at field placement sites. Criminal background checks may also be run on students by school districts. Field site staff have the authority to determine the appropriateness of a student placement.

Applicants must also complete a disclosure statement indicating (1) whether they have been admitted to, then withdrawn from, asked to withdraw from, or been dropped from a student teaching, clinical experience, or other intern/practicum program, and (2) if they have ever been placed on probation or disciplined by any college or university for academic dishonesty.

See Associate Dean Jeffrey Hamm at EAS if you have questions about these processes.
