Chandler-Gilbert Community College Catalog and Student Handbook 2015-2016 Degree Requirements 295 MCCCD Required Background Checks Students enrolled in an MCCCD allied health or nursing program are required to complete and pass clinical learning experiences, working with children, elderly persons, and other vulnerable populations. MCCCD's major clinical agency partners now mandate that any college students assigned to them for clinical experiences submit to a comprehensive background clearance prior to entering such learning experiences. Because the clinical experience portion of the programs is critical to completing a program of study, MCCCD has instituted two specific background check requirements in order for a student to enroll in a program on or after September 1, 2011. First, the student must obtain, at his or her own cost, a Level I Fingerprint Clearance Card from the Arizona Department of Public Safety. Precluding offenses for a Level I card can be found in Arizona Revised Statute § 41-1758.07 (http://www.azleg.gov/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/ars/41/01758- 07.htm&Title=41&DocType=ARS). Additionally, students must also obtain a "pass" status on a MCCCD supplemental background check from MCCCD's authorized background check contractor. The student must also pay for this background check. The supplemental check will be based on the most stringent standards of MCCCD's clinical experience partners. The sole program for which the background check requirements are different is the Emergency Medical Technician program. For that program, students must have obtained a Level 1 Fingerprint Clearance Card from the Arizona Department of Public Safety. They are also required, at the time of their clinical assignments, to submit to, pay for and pass any additional background check requirements of the clinical agencies to which their EMT program places students. Certain licensing boards may require a separate background check or clearance card upon application for licensure or certification. The MCCCD supplemental background check review may include searches of the following databases and information but MCCCD reserves the right to change the search criteria and the program background check requirements at any time without notice: 1. National Federal Health Care and Abuse Databases 2. Social Security Number Verification 3. Residency History 4. Arizona Statewide Criminal offense Databases 5. Nationwide Criminal offense Databases 6. State of Arizona and National Sexual Offender Registries 7. Homeland Security Watch Lists
