CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK POLICY AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The required curriculum for a Master of Science in Nursing student involves completion of clinical nursing courses. Students
participating in nursing courses with clinical components must meet the requirements mandated by the clinical agencies, which
includes a satisfactory BCI criminal background check within the last five years consistent with the agencies’ screening
requirements for their employees.
It is the student’s responsibility to initiate the background check and have results sent directly to:
Lourdes University
ATTN: Marisol Strelow
6832 Convent Blvd.
Sylvania, OH 43560
Out of State Residents must submit a BCI background check and an FBI background check.
If you have not lived within the state of Ohio for at least five (5) years, you need to submit a BCI background check and an FBI
background check.
If the results of the criminal background check show any potentially disqualifying or questionable information, Lourdes
University may require the student to obtain and provide additional information to verify or clarify the background check’s
results. The failure to provide additional information as requested will render the student unable to participate in clinicals.
Cost: The student is responsible for the cost of the criminal background check and the cost of obtaining additional information to
verify or clarify potentially disqualifying or questionable results.
Processing Time: It may take 30 to 90 days to receive the results of the background check. It is the student’s responsibility to
allow sufficient processing time in advance of the beginning of the clinical course.
Use of Results: If the criminal background check results are not approved as satisfactory by the nursing department before the
first clinical class, the student’s admission to the clinical course will be deferred until the following semester unless it is
determined from the results that the student will be unable participate in clinicals. If the results of the background check and any
necessary follow-up are inconsistent with criminal records check requirements such that the student would be limited or barred
from participating in clinicals, Lourdes University will not approve the student for participation in clinicals. Without clinical
experience, the student cannot complete all aspects of the nursing program and will not be able to receive regular admission or
continue in the program; in such instances, the student will be dismissed from the program and will not be entitled to any tuition
refund. Lourdes University is not liable for any damages arising out of or related to the results of the criminal background check,
the student’s non-approval for clinicals, or the student’s dismissal from the program.
Confidentiality: Lourdes University will store the results of the background check in a separate confidential file apart from the
student’s other records. Lourdes University may disclose the results as needed or as required by law.
Self-Disclosure: The student must report within ten (10) business days any criminal conviction (excluding only minor traffic
violations) that occurs after submitting the information for the background check to the Director of the MSN program. Failure to
report the required information to the Director of the MSN program may constitute grounds for immediate dismissal from
clinicals and the program.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
I,
, understand and acknowledge that decisions regarding my
participation in the Lourdes University nursing program will be made based, in part, upon the results of my required
criminal background check(s) and the additional information I provide to comply with this policy.

healthcare provider with the Technical Standards for Nursing Students table on the following page. The
executed certification form must be on file before beginning the clinical nursing courses of the program.
If a student believes that he or she needs disability-related accommodation(s) in order to meet these

Accommodations may not be reasonable in some cases.
 Any student who cannot meet each of the Technical Standards with or without reasonable
accommodation can no longer be enrolled in the MSN program.
 Students requesting disability-related accommodations must have their need for reasonable
accommodation validated through the Office of Accessibility Services before beginning
clinical nursing courses in order to permit adequate time to arrange the accommodation. It

 Accessibility Services works jointly with the student and the College of Nursing to explore
accommodation options.
