CRIMINAL BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS (CBI)/DRUG TESTING POLICY

HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES DIVISION

SPARTANBURG COMMUNITY COLLEGE

A criminal background investigation (CBI) and drug testing are required for each Health and Human

Services student who has been accepted into a curriculum program of study with the exception of ITP

and ECD (only CBI required).

Students who have been found guilty, by a court of law, or pled no contest (nolo contendere) to a

crime, when conviction has occurred within the last 7-10 years, of the following crimes are deemed

unqualified to attend clinical training.

Crimes include, but not limited to the following:

1. Child or adult abuse

2. Sexual assault

3. Assault with a deadly weapon

4. Neglect

5. Mistreatment of residents, patients/clients

6. Misappropriation of resident/patient/client property

The clinical affiliate may exercise discretion regarding other convictions.

A criminal background check must be completed for each state the student has been a resident in the

last 12 months. Both the criminal background check and drug test will only be conducted at the

students expense after he/she has been accepted into a curriculum program of study. The results of the

background check and drug test must be obtained before the student will be allowed into the clinical

site. If the results of either of these procedures document a violation as indicated above, the results will

be sent to the clinical facility to be reviewed and a determination of whether the student will or will not

be allowed in clinical by that facility. The healthcare facility will send in writing a statement whether

the student has approval to attend clinical rotations within their facility. A student with a positive drug

test will be dismissed from the program for 1 year. This will count as one program attempt. He or she

may recycle into a program only once. Upon readmission to the Program, drug testing at the student’s

expense will be required each semester until he or she completes the Program.

Any student unable to attend a clinical affiliate will be required to withdraw from his or her

program of study.

If a student has a documented offense after completing the CBI check, he/she must notify the

department head or program coordinator in writing within 24 hours of the offense occurring.

If the department head or program coordinator is not appropriately notified in writing within the time

limit, disciplinary action will be taken against the student if this information has been documented in

the public domain.

*This form is for your information only – do not return it in the application packet. (10/4/2017)
