Level I
Revised February, 2020
I understand that any false or misleading statements made by me on this application will prevent my acceptance into the
program or will be cause for dismissal if accepted.
I understand and accept that after being admitted to the program, I must pass a physical examination approved by Danville
Area Community College. I understand that I will be asked to authorize the release of my health and demographic information to the
clinical sites utilized by the nursing program.
As required by the clinical affiliates, students must undergo criminal background checks before entering the program. This
form will be sent to you upon your acceptance to the program. I also understand that if the results of the background check prevent me
from participating at the clinical sites, I will not be able to enter the program. At DACC, we updated all of our program manuals to
state: “DACC does not rely on drug test results to deny access to any academic program for any student who is 21 or over and tests
positive for marijuana. However, most clinical sites require a test for marijuana and do not allow students to complete clinicals if the
test is positive. The clinical is a requirement of this program, and thus if DACC does not have a clinical partner that allows positive
tests, students may not be able to complete the program.
If you have any questions relative to interpretation of any part of this application, please email nursing@dacc.edu.
