Pharmacy Technician Criminal Charges or Convictions

Per the Oregon Health Authority a history of criminal charges or convictions may prohibit a student from entering the Pharmacy Technician profession. Students with a conviction history should investigate their personal status early in their academic career. Students must submit a clear criminal background check once officially registered for fall term. Directions will be emailed to students who are officially registered. In addition, students must pass the Oregon State Board of Pharmacy background check before starting PHM 190 and 191.

If you have been convicted of a crime please discuss your status with the Oregon State Board of Pharmacy and your legal representative before proceeding with your Pharmacy Tech education.
