All College of Health Sciences students, upon entry to a full major within the college, must complete the necessary compliance requirements. There are a variety of items that students must submit and keep up to date to remain compliant throughout their enrollment at CHS. The college works with a company called CastleBranch to track these compliance requirements.
Compliance Requirements
All students in the College of Health Sciences are required to have full background checks and ten-panel drug screenings before beginning a CHS program; students are also required to submit proof of immunizations and other program specific requirements.
Students MUST complete these requirements via the CastleBranch system! Background checks and drug screens from other sources will NOT be accepted. The CastleBranch portal can be found here. Students who need to open a CHS CastleBranch account can expect to pay approximately $120 to cover the cost of opening the account, which includes the drug screen, background check, and a Medical Document Manager.
