Criminal Background Check for Clinical Experiences
General Information
The College of Education requires that students complete a criminal background
check prior to clinical experiences in schools. Therefore, a background check will
be completed by Accountability Plus, Inc., for a nominal fee of $15.00. This
background check is good for one academic year (fall through spring). It is
NON-TRANSFERABLE and cannot be obtained or used for
purposes other than clinical or student teaching experiences. If a candidate needs
criminal background information for subbing purposes, please see Gail Orcutt
in AH 118 (389-1216).
