Job applications uniformly ask applicants if they have ever been arrested for any offense, either misdemeanor or felony. An affirmative response or finding on the part of the employer may be grounds to deny employment.

A second requirement may require applicants to take psychological tests, lie detector tests, drug tests, and other medical tests in order to determine if applicants are suited for a particular position.

With respect to the above, the Division of Continuing Education advises that entrance into any sociology/criminology course of study or subsequent graduation is no guarantee, explicit or implied, that a student is employable.

n an attempt to advise prospective students appropriately, a prior arrest and/or drug and alcohol history should be discussed with an advisor before the student’s admission into the Sociology/Criminology Program.

Neither CSU-Pueblo nor the advisors will be held liable for a student’s decision to continue in the program.
