All applicants applying for MSSU Emergency Medical Service Programs will be required to undergo a criminal background check. The time and specific type will be mandated by the Department of EMS and will be the only accepted background check. The background check will require the applicant to list all states the applicant has resided in since 18 years of age. Failure to accurately list this information may result in denial of entrance to the program. Students that are accepted through false or incorrect information for the background check will be immediately terminated from the educational program. Students with an insufficient or questionable background check will be required to have fingerprints taken and sent to the FBI for review.
As part of the final steps in the selection process, applicants will be required to submit to a drug screening. The Department of EMS will arrange this testing. Only the arranged drug screening test will be accepted.
