What is App Academy's criminal conviction policy?

In the interest of creating such a safe environment for all students, instructors, and staff, candidates cannot have any criminal convictions of a violent or sexual nature. This includes criminal offenses involving child pornography, violence, physical force or the threat of physical force, and sexual offenses.

To achieve an equitable implementation of the tuition policy, candidates cannot have convictions that would preclude them from successful passage of a criminal background check, thus making securing employment as a software engineer extremely difficult. This includes, but is not limited to, fraud, embezzlement, and extortion.
