WSU College of Applied Studies Background Check Requirements for Advanced Programs

Background Check Requirement

The Wichita State University College of Applied Studies has mandated that students in the college's advanced programs clear a criminal background check upon admission and prior to their first semester. There are two reasons for this requirement. First, it is part of the university's due diligence before placing students in field settings. Second, the check may alert students to issues that may subsequently affect their ability to work in their chosen field. 

Please complete the following two steps to complete this requirement: 

STEP 1: Complete Student Authorization Form and email a copy to your academic department’s administrator or advisor. See Attachment A below for department contacts for each program. 

STEP 2: Complete the criminal background check requirement.
