Applicant with a Criminal Record

We believe everyone with the potential and ambition to study at ISEH should have the opportunity to do so, regardless of the background. People with criminal convictions often face obstacles and barriers while accessing admissions in academic institutions, yet education has the power to transform their lives by helping them move forward and make a positive contribution to the society. Therefore, the leaders of ISEH have pledged to give an applicant with a criminal record a fair chance:

  • Having a criminal record does not prevent an individual from applying to study at ISEH, however, it will be necessary for the candidate to declare such information during admission process.

  • The applicants with criminal record will be offered a chance to discuss their case in person with ISEH administration before a decision is made.

  • The approval for such admission will be granted by the panel of senior administration of ISEH.

  • ISEH reserves the right of not approving the admission of any applicant with a criminal record.

Consideration of Occupational Health Assessments

  • ISEH has a responsibility to the general public and to individuals regarding occupational health. It, therefore, reserves the right to deny admission to applicants who are unable to supply a satisfactory occupational health assessment.

  • Where ISEH feels an applicant is deemed unacceptable as a result of an occupational health assessment, ISEH reserves the right to deny admission to that applicant.

  • All information provided by an applicant relating to his/ her occupational health assessment remains confidential between the applicant and the designated occupational health assessor of ISEH.

  • ISEH is committed to providing applicants with appropriate feedback within resource constraints upon request.

  • Requests by ISEH for feedback must be submitted by the requested applicant.

  • Requests for feedback from third parties on behalf of an applicant are not permitted.
