CRIMINAL OFFENDER RECORD INFORMATION AND
SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY INFORMATION CHECKS
As a prerequisite for a clinical placement in the Medical Assistant
Certi�cate Program, all students must undergo a Criminal
Offender Record Information (CORI) check and a Sex Offender
Registry Information (SORI) check. These checks are required
due to potential unsupervised contact with children, the disabled,
or the elderly during a clinical experience. Students found to
have certain criminal convictions or pending criminal actions
will be presumed ineligible for clinical placement. The College
is authorized by the Commonwealth’s Department of Criminal
Justice Information Services, pursuant to Massachusetts
General Laws, Chapter 6, Sections 167-178 B, to access CORI
records. Sex Offender checks shall be performed pursuant to
Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 6, Sections 178C-178P.
For more information regarding the College’s CORI/SORI check
process, please contact the College CORI/SORI Of�cer at
