Criminal History

Urban Teachers reserves the right to deny admission to Urban Teachers or dismiss any Urban Teachers resident who has been involved in a criminal proceeding other than a minor traffic violation, regardless of the outcome. This includes criminal matters that were handled by a juvenile court and final determinations that are sealed or otherwise expunged from the public record.  You may be required to submit a Pre-Criminal Background Check in order to apply for clearance prior to coming to the start of Summer Institute. A background check is required for entry into our program. A background check must be done at the city site and takes 6-8 weeks to get results/decisions. If interested in starting June 2019, you must begin this process by March 2019. For questions, please contact admissions@urbanteachers.org.
