All students who are taking the CHFam 2610 or 2620 must pass a fingerprint department background check prior to taking either class. If you are taking this class prior to being admitted to the Teacher Education program, you have the option of completing the CHFam background check now and waiting until you are admitted to the TE program to complete the USOE background check. The USOE background check is required to begin the TE levels and expires three years from the date you are cleared. It must be valid at the time you complete the program and apply for licensure. If you will not be completing the program within the next 3 years, you will have to be fingerprinted twice. The choice is yours as to which background check you complete now.
There will be special days and times provided before each semester to fingerprint students enrolled in these classes in order to reduce the volume in the fingerprinting office during regular hours. Those hours will be posted here when they have been scheduled. If you do not complete early fingerprinting, you must come to the livescan office during regular operating hours.
In order to be fingerprinted during the special times, please follow the appropriate instructions below. Turn in all paperwork and payments to the Teacher Education Advisement Center, ED 230 by the Day before you want to be fingerprinted and sign up for an appointment during one of the times listed below.
