Students who have a previous felony or child abuse conviction are advised that their prior criminal history may impede their ability to complete the requirements of certain academic programs and/or meet the licensure requirements of certain professions. Students with a prior criminal history should also be aware that agencies for clinical, field or internship experiences may require a background check. A prior criminal history may preclude participation in such experiences at these agencies. Students concerned about these restrictions are advised to contact the program director of their intended academic program.
Could you be considered an individual with a disability under the law?
The definition of disability is very broad under the law, and you may not realize
that you qualify for accommodations. If you have a diagnosis (physical, psychological,
learning or other) that is impacting your academics OR if you received accommodations
in high school, contact Binghamton University's Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) Office for a consultation to discuss potential equal-access accommodations. Read more about
the guidelines for requesting accommodations.
