Re-Entry Support for Students Who Have Been Justice Involved

At LWTech You Belong

Welcome to LWTech! We are here to make sure your experience at the college is positive. We understand the transition from being justice involved to higher education can be difficult or intimidating and we are here to make it as simple as possible.

Required Steps to Attend LWTech If You Are Or Have Been Justice Involved

  1. If you are an individual with an RSO (registered sex offender) designation, there are some required processes which you can find in the Student Handbook.
  2. A few of our programs of study require background checks for clinical placements and you may not be eligible for placement or future employment in some situations. Each program webpage posts this information in the “At a Glance Section” or you can ask your advisor about your specific situation.
