Background checks may be required for matriculation and at various clinical sites. Program students must successfully complete a security background check that will be performed prior to enrollment through a UTMB contractor as well as complete a TDC background check during new student orientation. A negative clearance will not necessarily preclude matriculation; however, a conviction of a felony offense may result in ineligibility to receive licensure in Texas. Cases are considered on an individual basis by the state licensing agency.

A laptop computer is required for use during matriculation in the PA Program. Refer to the UTMB laptop guidelines for more information. This fee will vary depending upon the hardware and software configuration purchased.
