Upon acceptance of an offer of placement within any program within RVU, all candidates are required to complete a criminal background check and a 10-panel drug screening. This screening must meet the RVU standards, be conducted by an agency approved by RVU, and occur prior to the date specified in the matriculation agreement. Please note: though marijuana is legal in the state of Colorado, RVU adheres to federal regulations regarding recreational drug use. As such, any marijuana use is prohibited by RVU students.

An applicant who has a deficiency or abnormality discovered on either screening will be referred to the MSBS Student Performance Committee (SPC) for further investigation.The MSBS SPC will make a recommendation to the MSBS Program Director as to whether the offer of admission should be maintained or withdrawn. The MSBS Program Director will make the final determination regarding the applicant’s status. Failure to complete a Criminal Background Check by the required deadline could affect the ability to matriculate or engage in RVU educational experiences.
