Students at Youngstown State University and other Mahoning Valley colleges often need background checks before student teaching, clinical rotations, or field placements. Completing fingerprints early helps students start placements on schedule.

Programs That Often Require Checks

Education, nursing, social work, counseling, dental hygiene, respiratory care, medical assisting, and early childhood programs commonly require background checks before students work with children, patients, or clients.

Follow Program Instructions

Programs may require results sent to the school, the placement site, or the student. Bring your program’s exact instructions, including any reason or code listed, so your request is completed correctly the first time.

Plan Around Deadlines

Placement sites set firm deadlines. Schedule fingerprints as soon as your program asks, and keep your receipt so you can show proof of submission if results are still pending.

Questions to Ask Before Your Appointment

Before you schedule, ask the organization that requested your background check whether it needs a BCI check, an FBI check, or both, what reason or code section should be listed, and where results must be sent. Ask whether electronic fingerprints are acceptable or ink cards are required, and who pays. Written answers make your appointment quick and accurate.
