That may not be the only issue.  Check NBCOT.  It will not allow students take an exam if certain offenses are a student’s record.

Hi colleagues,
I am wondering if you have any advise on students who may not have passed  background check and therefore not allowed for fieldwork placement in some of the institutes/organizations. In particular, if the incidents happened long time ago, but still stay in the record, do any of you have any experience in "helping" the students to clear for fieldwork?
Thank you.
