Some agencies may require students to obtain special background checks that could also include fingerprinting, Barrier Crime checks, and/or a medical clearance. It is very important to inquire about these checks and conditions at the time of the interview at the agency. The student is responsible to obtain, provide, and in some cases pay for the information required by the agency. Please initiate the background check as soon as possible, some of the checks can take 4-6 weeks to complete. If a student is held up because of incomplete requirements it may hurt the student's ability to accumulate the required number of practicum hours.
