Please be advised that Salus University makes academic program acceptance decisions without regard to criminal history. However, Salus students may be subjected to annual background checks in accordance with the university's Background Check Policy. A criminal conviction or other matter uncovered by the background checks may prevent a student from participating in clinical or other educational experiences necessary for graduation and/or from obtaining a professional license post graduation. Any applicant with a criminal conviction or other matter that may be uncovered by the background checks is strongly encouraged to contact their prospective program to confidentially discuss the potential implications prior to accepting an offer of admission and matriculating.
