Mandatory BCI/FBI background check

Any courses that require field hours or student teaching placement will need to get their BCI/FBI background check.

We have partnered with ÐãÉ«¶ÌÊÓƵ's School of Counseling to offer this service on campus, see details.

If you do your background check elsewhere use these codes:

BCI 3319 39B1 School Employees - non-teaching positions
FBI 3319 39 Public School District or Chartered Nonpublic School Employees and School Bus Drivers

Send copies of the background checks to: your HOME address and to the Ohio Department of Educations (ODE). *DO NOT send copies to ÐãÉ«¶ÌÊÓƵ.
