Sec. 670.410  Are there additional factors which are considered in selecting an eligible applicant for enrollment?

    Yes, in accordance with procedures issued by the Secretary, an 
eligible applicant may be selected for enrollment, only if:
    (a) A determination is made, based on information relating to the 
background, needs and interests of the applicant, that the applicant's 
educational and vocational needs can best be met through the Job Corps 
program;
    (b) A determination is made that there is a reasonable expectation 
the applicant can participate successfully in group situations and 
activities, and is not likely to engage in actions that would 
potentially:
    (1) Prevent other students from receiving the benefit of the 
program;
    (2) Be incompatible with the maintenance of sound discipline; or
    (3) Impede satisfactory relationships between the center to which 
the student is assigned and surrounding local communities;
    (c) The applicant is made aware of the center's rules and what the 
consequences are for failure to observe the

rules, as described in procedures issued by the Secretary;
    (d) The applicant passes a background check conducted according to 
procedures established by the Secretary. The background check must find 
that the applicant is not on probation, parole, under a suspended 
sentence or under the supervision of any agency as a result of court 
action or institutionalization, unless the court or appropriate agency 
certifies in writing that it will approve of the applicant's release 
from its supervision and that the applicant's release does not violate 
applicable laws and regulations. No one will be denied enrollment in Job 
Corps solely on the basis of contact with the criminal justice system. 
(WIA secs. 145(b)(1)(C) and 145(b)(2));
    (e) Suitable arrangements are made for the care of any dependent 
children for the proposed period of enrollment.
