Criminal Offender Record Information and Sex Offender Registry Information Checks

Students and employees participating in an academic, community or clinical program that involves the potential for unsupervised contact with children, the disabled, or the elderly, are required to undergo a Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) check and/or a Sex Offender Registry Information (SORI) check. Students found to have certain criminal convictions or pending criminal actions will be presumed ineligible to participate in such activities. The College's access to CORI records is authorized by the Commonwealth's Criminal History Systems Board pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 6, Sections 167-178B. The College's assessment of CORI records is based on regulations issued by the Executive Office of Health and Human Services, 101 Code of Massachusetts Regulations 15.00-15.17. SORI checks are performed pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 6, Section 178C.
