2020–2021 CATALOG AND STUDENT HANDBOOK ACADEMIC INFORMATION AND COLLEGE POLICIES criminal background checks. Therefore, prior criminal convictions may impair one’s eligibility to sit for these exams or to secure employment in one’s chosen career field. Pharmacy Technician students convicted of non-drug-related felonies may not be eligible to sit for the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) exam. Pharmacy Technician students convicted of drug- or pharmacy-related felonies ARE NOT eligible to sit for the PTCB exam. Students seeking licensing as professional peace officers in Minnesota must complete the required Law Enforcement coursework at Rasmussen College or transfer in the equivalent. In addition, these students must complete an officially recognized first-aid course in First Responder, Emergency Medical Technician, or Emergency Response, and complete practical/”skills” coursework meeting POST objectives, to be eligible to sit for the Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) licensing exam. Students must provide Rasmussen College with a copy of their required first-aid certification (such as a copy of their first responder card) for inclusion in the student’s file at Rasmussen College. Some skills training providers may require additional academic coursework. Skills training cannot be completed online. Rasmussen College reserves the right to deny admission to applicants whose total credentials reflect an inability to assume the obligations of performance and behavior deemed essential by Rasmussen College and relevant to any of its lawful missions, process, and functions as an educational institution and business. The administration of Rasmussen College reserves the right to address any issue in this catalog or its operations regarding its meaning. Non-Discrimination Policy Rasmussen is strongly committed to providing equal employment opportunity for all employees and all applicants for employment. For us, this is the only acceptable way to operate our College. Rasmussen employment practices conform both with the letter and spirit of federal, state, and local laws and regulations regarding non-discrimination in employment, compensation, and benefits.
