The College of Education’s Clearances Policy requires that all undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in College of Education courses that require observation hours and fieldwork submit updated copies of the following clearances to the Castle Branch (CB) documents Service or the Employment Verification Form (once a year). 

All clearances (TB, Child Abuse, State Police, and F.B.I.) are valid one year from the date of issue. Students are to keep the originals in their possession and submit copies of each clearance by the appropriate deadline to be assigned to a field experience placement. All documents must be uploaded to Castle Branch or if you have an employer who has your clearances on file then complete an employment verification form.
