As a condition of enrollment, all admitted students are required to answer questions regarding conduct and felony history prior to submission of the enrollment deposit for undergraduate students or the enrollment confirmation for graduate students.
Every admitted student is informed of this requirement in the admission notification. Please note that your enrollment is contingent upon a review of any pending felony charge(s) or felony conviction record that you may have. We also require successful completion of your current academic program and exemplary personal conduct between now and your enrollment at the University.
The admissions committee expects that you will maintain both your current academic performance and a record of exemplary personal conduct. Failure to do so may result in a rescission of your offer or other restrictions being placed on your admission. You are also required to provide our office with any new relevant information concerning changes to your participation in your current academic program or your grades, or any conduct-related issues (including, but not limited to, criminal matters and school discipline matters).听听 听补苍诲 听听post-admission policies are available in the University Catalog.
Why does the University wait until I am ready to enroll to ask about my criminal history record?
The University is committed to treating all applicants with conduct or criminal history records fairly and respectfully. We holistically review admission applications with a primary focus on academics. Admitted students with pending felony charges or those who have been convicted of a felony offense who wish to enroll are referred to the University Enrollment Conduct Committee (UECC). These students are required to provide an explanation of the offense(s) and are subject to additional screening.
How long does the UECC review process take?
On average, the UECC review process takes three weeks once all documentation has been received from the student.
