ATTENTION COUNSELING MAJORS AND EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP MAJORS!

PRACTICUM AND INTERNSHIP STUDENTS

Effective April 1, 2007, all prospective employees and student teachers working for a public or private school and having direct contact with students are not only required to have Act 34 State Police Criminal Record Check and the Act 151 PA Child Abuse History Clearance, but they must also have an FBI fingerprint check and anyone hired who already has an FBI fingerprint check done that is less than one year old from the date of hire will not be required to obtain a new one.

IU#5 along with our sister IUs across the state and some UPS stores, has been designated to act as a fingerprint processing site.  We will begin processing digital fingerprints at our Edinboro Office (252 Waterford Street), starting Friday, March 30th, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.   Our offices will be closed on Friday, April 6th, and Monday, April 9th, for the Easter Holiday.  We will be posting this information, along with our scheduled office closings, on our web site before the end of the week.

THE FOLLOWING ARE THE PROCEDURES FOR APPLICANTS:

1.  Applicants must register for background check services prior to coming to the fingerprint site.  This may be done at www.pa.cogentid.com by choosing online registration; or by calling 1-888-439-2486.

2. Applicants required to pay for themselves (APPLICANT PAY) must make payment arrangements prior to fingerprinting.  Applicants may pre-pay at www.pa.cogentid.com by choosing online payent via debit or credit card; or by calling 1-888-439-2486.  The fee is $40.

3. Money orders and cashiers checks made out to Cogent Systems are also  accepted at the fingerprint service sites.  No cash is accepted at fingerprint sites.

4. In some cases, districts/organizations/agencies may choose to pay for the applicant's background check.  These applicants are designated AGENCY PAY.  Agencies may complete the Agency Billing Agreement if they choose to allow their applicants to bill their background checks directly to the Agency.  They will need to set this up with Cogent Systems prior to the applicant arriving at the fingerprint site.  If an appicant is required to pay for themselves, they are designated APPLICANT PAY.

5. Proceed to the fingerprint location of your choice.  No appointment is necessary.  You must be registered and have made arrangements for payment.

6. The fingerprints will be sent electronically over a secure system with firewalls in place to the State Police, who will channel it to the FBI.  The FBI should turn around the results to PDE within two days.  PDE will print the results out and mail them directly to the applicant.  If an applicant does not receive their background check within eight weeks after being fingerprinted, they are to call (717) 783-3750 or email PDE at dwolfgang@state.pa.us. They are not to contact the fingerprint site or Cogent Systems.

Please remember that there is a 90-day grace period while waiting for the clearances to be processed.

If you have any questions, please feel fre to e-mail me or call my office at 814  734-8404.
