In keeping with MTSA's drug free environment, applicants will be required to sign a statement relative to substance abuse prior to interview and enrollment and are expected to refrain from substance abuse as students. Students are expected to be good citizens; consequently, ALL applicants are required to complete and sign a form, indicating any charge, arrest, or conviction of a felony or misdemeanor, other than a minor traffic violation, even if they have been told that such a charge, arrest, or conviction has been expunged from their record (since some affiliates perform federal-level background checks, which reveal all charges, arrests, and convictions, even if expunged at another level).
