COVID-19 Vaccination
Please note that the University requires its students to be fully-vaccinated against COVID-19 . Students attending a program with a clinical training component are subject to this policy. Medical and religious exemptions are not available for students in a University clinical training program due to the requirements of external clinical sites and other circumstances which would place an undue burden on the University to provide the accommodation.

Background Checks
Please note that a felony conviction or previous criminal record could affect eligibility for clinical training placement and, as a result, ability to complete the program requirements.
