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 will 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 "preliminary' background check is required for entry into our program. A background check may be required to be done at the city site and often takes 6-8 weeks to get results/decisions. If interested in starting June 2020, you must begin this process by March 2020. For questions, please contact admissions@urbanteachers.org.
