Criminal Conviction
In an effort to maintain a safe educational and working environment for students and staff, Colorado Technical University does not admit applicants who are known to have certain types of criminal convictions in their backgrounds.
The Criminal Conviction policy applies to students throughout their entire student lifecycle, from enrollment through graduation.
During the admissions application process students will be required to attest to their criminal conviction history. Students enrolling with the University may be subjected to a criminal background check based on:
- Location of campus
- Program of enrollment
Upon completion of the admissions process, the Criminal Conviction policy applies to admitted and enrolled students in the following ways:
- Students convicted of any criminal offense while enrolled must report that conviction to the school within ten (10) days of receiving the conviction.
- Depending on the nature of the crime for which the student is convicted the student may need to change the campus location and/or program into which they are enrolled.
- Students who fail to report a criminal conviction while enrolled are subject to immediate dismissal.
- Students who are discovered to have misrepresented their criminal conviction history to Colorado Technical University are subject to immediate dismissal.
- Students who are discovered to have committed certain types of offenses while enrolled are subject to immediate dismissal.
Colorado Technical University reserves the right to conduct criminal background checks on applicants and students in circumstances deemed appropriate by Colorado Technical University.
