NOTIFY RESPONSIBLE LICENSING OBLIGATION

FEDERAL AND STATE LEVEL 2 BACKGROUND/DRUG TESTS

Hodges University assumes no obligation and cannot guarantee the completion of degree requirements for an individual with an unsuccessful criminal background or drug screen. Furthermore, Hodges is under no obligation to refund tuition, fees or to otherwise accommodate a student if deemed ineligible to complete course requirements based on the results of a criminal background check or drug screening, or if the student is unable to obtain licensure. Students in the program are obligated to notify the BSDH Program Chair of any arrests, incidents and/or charges regardless of adjudication that occur after acceptance and during enrollment in the program. Failure to notify the BSDH Program Chair within seven

days shall be grounds for immediate dismissal from the program. BSDH Program faculty, administrators as well as any clinical site may request a Drug Screening on a student at any time during enrollment. State laws generally permit a state licensing board or agency to deny a licensee or potential licensee to practice if the applicant is not of “good moral character”, has been convicted of a felony, has had multiple arrests, or other specified crime(s). A student who may have a criminal history and/or positive drug screen must contact the Florida Board directly as the student may not be eligible for licensure. It is the responsibility of the student to determine eligibility for licensing.
