Should infractions appear in the background screening, the student <br />will be responsible for providing documentation of corrective action. A finding on a background <br />screening does not necessarily negate enrollment at Pacific College, as each situation will be reviewed <br />and evaluated on a case -by -case basis. <br />If the student is found to be ineligible for participation in clinical activities, s/he will be required to <br />withdraw from the program, and will be financially responsible for all charges incurred as stated in the <br />withdrawal policy. <br />92 2020.2021 Catalog Pacific College <br />
