Criminal Conviction Statement Portland State University’s School of Social Work takes seriously the
need to protect the public, as well as to provide appropriate opportunities to individuals wishing to enter
the social work profession who have criminal records. We are committed to assuring that individuals who
might pose a threat to any client group or practice setting be prevented from causing harm. We are also
committed to the value and belief that any particular arrest or criminal conviction history is not in and of
itself indicative of a person’s readiness or potential to enter into and contribute to the social work
profession. The School of Social Work makes no presumptive judgments regarding the criminal history of
a student and potential field placements. This policy is intended to ensure that the School of Social Work
field team will make a reasonable effort to identify a suitable field agency that will provide a placement for
a student with a criminal record. Students need to know that in fulfilling this effort, certain types and
calendar dates of criminal convictions may result in some agencies declining to offer them a field
placement. In some instances, it may not be possible for the field team to find a placement willing to
interview or accept the student. In such a case, it is likely that the student will be unable to complete the
BSW or MSW program.
To the best of my knowledge, the information in this application is accurate and complete.
