Students enrolling in one of these programsmust understand and agree that it is the student’s responsibility to determine if any past criminal convictions willprevent them from obtaining any required state license from the Nevada State Board of Nursing or from any othergovernmental entity; disqualify them from Experiential Training; or deny them future employment. Students agree topromptly advise LVC if their criminal history, occurring at any time prior to or during their enrollment may disqualifythem from obtaining any required state or local license, permit or certification; Experiential Training; or employment.All Experiential Training locations require students to successfully pass a required criminal history backgroundcheck and a drug test prior to being allowed on site at such locations. Students enrolling in programs with ExperientialTraining sign an acknowledgement form, consenting and specifically agreeing to have LVC and its designated agentsas both a condition prior to their enrollment and at any time during their enrollment undertake all required backgroundchecks (a FACIS Level 3 Search or its equivalent for nursing students), and to collect blood, hair, urine and/or salivasamples from the student for all required medical tests to determine the presence or use of alcohol, drugs andcontrolled substances. If students do not pass any criminal history background check and/or drug test either prior totheir enrollment or at any time during their student enrollment, then they will be disqualified from being enrolled andtaking any Experiential Training. In such event, if already enrolled, the students will be subject to being immediatelydismissed, failed or withdrawn from their program as solely determined by LVC. A student who does not pass a drugtest may be allowed to re-test after 30 days have passed from the original test date, upon the written recommendationof the Campus Director and the written approval of the President. The decision to allow a re-test is made at soleelection and discretion of the Campus Director and the President.In accordance with their applicable procedures and policies, the state of Nevada, Experiential Training locations, andpotential employers will also require students to provide proof of immunization and pass a required physical by a doctor.Students enrolling in programs with Experiential Training should understand that the hours required atExperiential Training sites can vary from day to day and from week to week depending on the needs, rules,regulations and scheduling of the location site, including the possibility of required weekend hours, early morning orlate evening hours. They should understand that the hours required at Experiential Training sites may, at sometimes,conflict with their scheduled classroom hours at LVC.
