As a prerequisite for a clinical placement in the Psychiatric Rehabilitation 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
167-178B, 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 617-228-2193.
CAREER OUTLOOK
Students completing the certi�cate qualify for careers serving those with mental
