All accepted applicants are required to complete a criminal background check prior to matriculation. Beginning January 1st, and following your first acceptance, you can expect to receive an email from Certiphi Screening, Inc. requesting the completion of your criminal background check. Upon completion of this process, the procured report will be released to Rush Medical College. A positive result from the Criminal Background Check will result in your file being presented to the Committee on Student Evaluation and Promotion (COSEP) for review. If COSEP determines that there is a positive result on the Criminal Background Check, Rush Medical College has the right to rescind your acceptance.
