If you have a felony or child abuse conviction

Students who have a felony or child abuse conviction are advised that their prior criminal history may impede their ability to complete the requirements of the Decker School of Nursing and/or to meet licensure requirements for nursing. 

If you are concerned about this, contact the Decker Division of Advising and Academic Excellence, the undergraduate or graduate nursing program director or the Decker College Dean's Office.

You are required to report felony convictions while enrolled in the Decker School of Nursing, as it may change your progression.

To learn if a felony/child abuse conviction will negatively impact your ability for licensure, check with the State Board of Nursing in the state in which you plan to practice.  

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.
