UNDERGRADUATE CATALOGUE 2001–2003 VOL. LV, No. 1 Effective Fall 2001 1000 EDGEWOOD COLLEGE DRIVE MADISON, WISCONSIN 53711-1997 (608) 663-4861 1-800-444-4861 www.edgewood.edu [email protected] OFFICIAL NOTICES This catalog is effective for students entering the college beginning in the Fall 2001 semester and until a new catalog is published. The State of Wisconsin passed the Wisconsin Caregiver Background Check Law in 1998. This law requires a criminal background check on all people who are involved in the care of certain vulnerable groups, i.e., children, the elderly and other compromised populations. The intent of the law is to protect clients from being harmed. Therefore, Edgewood College requires background checks of employees, volunteers and students in clinical field experience placements. Students should become aware of these practices and confer with their advisors regarding their particular situations. The content of this document is provided for the information of the student. It is accurate at the time of printing, but is subject to change as deemed appropriate to fulfill Edgewood College’s role or mission or to accommodate circumstances beyond the College’s control. Any such changes may be implemented without prior notice, without obligation, and, unless specified, are effective when made. All students are reminded to read carefully the sections of the catalog pertaining to them. Lack of awareness of policies or requirements will not serve as a justifiable excuse at a later date.
