Criminal Background Check and Additional Screenings
All students/applicants must give authorization for BH to conduct a Baptist Health rehire / clinical
presence clearance, a Criminal Background Check (CBC), Social Security Number Verification and a
Child/Adult Maltreatment Check (CAMC) and the National Sex Offender Registry (SOR) check. The
CBC, SOR and CAMC may be repeated at any time during enrollment. Any challenges to the accuracy of
these reports should be directed to the agency responsible for the records.

BHCLR investigates all reports of applicant and student criminal activity on an individual basis. BHCLR
takes action as deemed appropriate by college administration. Actions may include all types of discipline
up to and including denial of entry or administrative dismissal.

Faculty and staff receiving or having knowledge of such a report are required by policy to immediately
notify their respective supervisor about the information received.
Enrollment is dependent on the results of the CBC and SOR. A conviction of a Violent Crime defined as
“a crime in which the offender uses or threatens to use violent force upon the victim” may result in denial
of entry or administrative dismissal. Crimes other than Violent Crimes are evaluated on an individual
basis. BHCLR defines a crime as any felony or misdemeanor (traffic offenses are excluded). DUI, DWI
and hot checks are examples of crimes.

Child/Adult Maltreatment Check
If an applicant is found in the Adult or Child Maltreatment Central Registry, the applicant must clear
his/her name to be eligible for enrollment.

If a student is found in the Adult or Child Maltreatment Central Registry, the student will be placed on
probation and allowed to remain enrolled while working to clear his/her name from the Registry. A
student listed in the Registry cannot attend clinical; therefore, if the student has not been cleared by the
scheduled start date of clinical in their assigned course, the student will be Administratively Withdrawn.
