The College of Nursing at South Dakota State University requires background checks of its students prior to their experience with clinical sites and/or student teaching. Failure to submit a background check will delay the entrance into an experiential rotation and/or school setting.
 
The background check and drug test must be completed by Viewpoint Screening. Select your program under "Start Your Order" on the left to proceed. You will be required to provide identifying information and payment source. You will be directed through the application process and results will be available to South Dakota State University. It is important that you submit information in a timely fashion.

South Dakota State University must be able to document this background check for you when requested by hospitals, clinics, and other non-SDSU training sites.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this request.
