Am I
required to undergo a criminal background check? |
Towson University
does not require you to undergo a background check.
However, non- compliance of a placement site’s request
to have a background check may make it impossible to
complete the program you are enrolled in.
|
|
Do I
have to pay for this check and if so how much will it
cost me? |
Students are
responsible for all fees associated with criminal
background checks. The cost can vary from $48 – $62
depending on what type of check you obtain. For
more than one name or location, extra charges may occur.
|
|
How
often will I have to undergo a criminal background
check? |
For students within
the College of Health Professions, once you receive a
criminal background check, it is sufficient for the
entire time you are in a program. For students placed
within educational settings
this may vary.
Please contact Center of Professional Practice for more
information.
|
|
Does
Towson University or the College of Health Professions
have access to my background check report? |
No, the only
people who can access your report are you and the
placement site’s coordinator.
|
|
Who
can I speak to if I have more questions? |
| For
general information on the process of obtaining a
background check, you can contact Robert Karp,
Admissions and Placement Coordinator for the College of
Health Professions at 410-704-2653 or
rkarp@towson.edu.
For questions specifically pertaining to your placement
please contact your department’s placement coordinator. |
