Prior to Matriculation Students entering the couple and family therapy programs are required to submit Level 1 and Level 2 background screenings, as well as drug screening prior to the deadlines set by the Office of Admissions and the Office of Student Affairs. Failure to meet these requirements by the deadlines may result in forfeiture of the seat with KPCOM. Incoming students must go to the designated website to fill out their background screening form. Students are required to enter their NSU email address. Students will be responsible for the costs of the required Level 2 background screening and the required drug screening. 2. For Clinical Training To be eligible for any practicums/internships, or clinical experiences, Couple and Family Therapy students must complete and pass Level 1 and Level 2 background screenings, drug screening, and any additional screenings required by their practicum/internship sites. Students will be responsible for the costs associated with any such required screenings. Drug screening must be performed at a qualified designated laboratory site identified by the college. Students who • test positive on a drug or alcohol urine screen • have a repeated inconclusive and/or diluted drug or alcohol urine screen • refuse to submit to a drug or alcohol urine screen • demonstrate illegal or disruptive actions related to drug or alcohol use • have an arrest for possession of drug paraphernalia or other illegal possession/use of drugs • have a demonstrated dependence to drugs or alcohol will be referred to the graduate Student Progress and Advising Committee (SPAC) for further action, including the evaluation of potential violations of the KPCOM Code of Behavioral Conduct. Should a student have a valid prescription for the medication, it will be reviewed by KPCOM prior to making the decision to refer the matter to the SPAC. Please note that NSU’s Drug-Free Schools and Campuses Policy prohibits the use and possession of marijuana regardless of whether a valid prescription exists. *In the event of an inconclusive or diluted test result, the student will be required to submit to an additional urine drug screen within 24 hours of the inconclusive/diluted result. Should the repeat test be inconclusive and/or diluted, the student will be placed on an administrative break in enrollment until such time as they can present a negative drug and/or alcohol screen and will be referred to the SPAC for review and possible disciplinary action.
