I need a background check for my field experience. What is the process?
Students are responsible for requesting and paying for their background check. To initiate the process, visit American DataBank at https://secure2.americandatabank.com/university_south_florida/package.asp and select the option for COPH students. As the sole person requesting the background check, students will be the only party to receive results. It is their responsibility to share the results with the FE supervisor, if requested. Note that it will take anywhere between 3-6 weeks to complete the process and receive results. The search is dependent upon how quickly the student completes all forms and mails them back to American DataBank, as well as the time the FBI takes to process the information.
