ITEM #1
Additional Admission/Placement
Requirements Affidavit
BEFORE PROCEEDING: THIS DOCUMENT IS REQUIRED BEFORE STUDENT
CAN BE ADMITTED TO AN APPLICABLE PROGRAM OF STUDY.
Certain programs of study at Horry-Georgetown Technical College carry additional requirements beyond
regular admission and academic requirements before a student may either be placed into the program
and/or be placed into a class that occurs in a clinical environment (hospital, office, public clinic, etc.).
Those additional requirements may include satisfactory completion of: Criminal Background Check
(CBC), Urine Drug Screening (UDS), and health exam/ physical/ immunization requirements. All costs
associated with additional requirements are the sole responsibility of the student and in no way are the
responsibility of Horry-Georgetown Technical College.
All students will be required to purchase the correct background check package as noted in the “Student
Background Check, Drug Screening and Immunization/Health Information Process” packet. Failure to
comply with the additional requirement(s) for your identified program of study, or failure to comply with
requirements to complete a CBC, UDS and/or health exam/ physical/ immunization, or failure to complete
or provide proof of completion of additional requirements by the stated deadline (varies by program, but
usually within 30 days prior to the beginning semester of clinical/field experience), and/or unsatisfactory
results on additional requirements (positive drug test, unacceptable criminal background, etc.) WILL
make you ineligible for admission for placement or to continue in the program of study and/or clinical
class(es) as appropriate.
*Note: Students who have not previously been enrolled in a clinical for more than one semester and/or should your
enrollment be interrupted (you miss a semester), new results for background checks, urine drug screening and/or
health/immunization will be required. All fees and costs associated with any checks, screenings or immunization are
the sole responsibility of the student.
Certification of Understanding
 I, , certify that I have read this statement and understand its
implication on my current and future enrollment as a student at Horry-Georgetown Technical College, up
to and including removal from any appropriate class and/or program(s) of study for failure to comply
with outlined additional requirements. In addition I also certify that I will notify the College of any arrests
or criminal charges filed against me (the student) subsequent to completing this form; and any
situations or incidents that occur after the background check/drug test has been purchased (including
taking any illegal drugs). Failure to notify the College may result in dismissal from the program.
