Background Checks Procedure:
Applicants who have met the above requirements and sign a release will have their names submitted to the Texas Board of Nursing [TX BON] for Background Checks. The admission process will proceed, ONLY after the student brings Bell Tech Career Institute the official letter of acceptance of Background check from the TX BON.
a. Admissions department will provide the applicant with the information from Texas Administrations Code 213.27-213.30 concerning Licensure of Persons with Criminal Convictions, and Declaratory Order of Eligibility.
b. Admissions department will provide contact information for applicants to locate a site and arrange for finger scanning per TX BON instructions.
c. The applicant is totally responsible to arrange for finger scanning and payment at that time for the DPS/FBI background check. No other form of background check or fingerprinting is acceptable.
d. All applicants that have been cleared on the background check will be notified in the mail to his/her own address. When the applicant receives a letter of clearance on background check, the letter must be delivered to Bell Tech Career Institute in order to be added to the tentative enrollment list for the new class.
Applicants not approved by the TX BON will be notified to their personal mailing addresses and Bell Tech will not be given details of that decision. Students who do not receive cleared background checks will not be allowed to continue the process for admission to the nursing program. At a future enrollment date, if the student who completed the Declaratory Process receives clearance for background check from the TX BON, the admission process can be resumed (when this official information is brought to the school by the student).
