  • Vision requirements
  • Physical fitness requirements
  • Tattoo visibility
  • Social media posts
  • Completion of drug testing, polygraph examinations, psychological screening, physical and medical examinations
  • Background checks
    • drug usage
    • criminal history
    • driving records

    • personal associations
    • and/or past work performance

Prior misdemeanor and/or felony conviction may impede a student's ability to participate in an internship experience as well as gain employment.
