This includes judgment of convictions, sentencing order, termination of probation (if applicable), and documents that present clear and convincing evidence of rehabilitation (letters of recommendation/reference).
  25. If you have student loans in default (meaning you have not made all required payments and do not have a deferment agreement with your loan provider), you will need to contact your loan provider to arrange for a new payment arrangement to get out of default.
  26. If you have child support arrears, you may still receive training but may not get a certification from the BON. Please inform the office before starting class.

If you answer YES to any of the questions, please provide an explanation and speak with someone in the office.
