Therefore the University of Nebraska Medical Center, College of Nursing requires background checks on all newly admitted students and annual disclosure statements on all currently enrolled students. Background checks are required by affiliating agencies and may be a condition to be a candidate for state licensure.</p>

Applicants to the undergraduate nursing program must also submit and complete a background check by the vendor chosen by UNMC or the College of Nursing as a condition of admission.</li>

<li>Applicants must complete the required background check following the offer of admission but prior to enrollment. Admission may be denied or rescinded based on a review of the background check and disclosure statement.</li>
