Drug Screening and Criminal Background Checks
All allied health students are required to submit a pre-clinical urine drug screen according to the policy of the Allied Health Programs at LCCC. The drug screen is completed at the student's expense and must be paid for at the time of application. In addition to drug screening, for the safety of patients and health care workers, allied health workers must also undergo a background check performed at the student's expense. Acceptance into the program is conditional based upon satisfactory completion of a criminal background check and drug screen. The student's acceptance will not be final until LCCC has received background check information from the reporting agencies, and the background check is clear of disqualifying offenses. Instructions for completion will be provided once a student is accepted into the program. Testing positive on the drug screening or evidence of tampering with a specimen will disqualify a student from participation in the program. Certain criminal activity, as evidenced by a criminal background check, may also disqualify a student from program participation. See HSW school policy. These circumstances may prevent acceptance into and/or continuance in the program.
