Clinical Field Experiences

Annual background checks required for all Education courses with classroom field experiences!

Clinical field experiences include early level observations, methods level practice teaching, and full semester student teaching assignments. In order to comply with the requirements of our local school corporations - ALL students in courses with fieldwork must obtain a Safe Hiring Solutions background check each academic year. It is recommended that students order the report using our specific link do so. The EPP has access to the report and can submit this to the schools for our students. Please check the Resources and Documents tab for more information.

The background check is required to be uploaded to applicable classes and decision points in Lumivero ELC (formerly called Tevera).

Those who do not have the cash flow to do so at the beginning of the term may work without Student Services Coordinator and submit a request form so that the Program may order the report for you. This will be charged to the individual's student account. The average cost is about $22 but can be more depending on where the student has resided in the past.

The Safe Hiring Solutions background check must be ordered by the end of the first week of class in the first term you are enrolled in an EDU course with field work. Those who have not either ordered it on their own or through the Education Student Services Office or supplied another background check from the same academic year can be removed from the course and required to enroll in a different course during Drop/Add week.
An upload of your report should be uploaded into your Lumivero assignments for every course with a field assignment. If you would like our office to print a hard copy of your report, please send a message to the Student Services Coordinator. If you order it via the SHS website, you may download your own report at any time.
Only one background check per student is required per academic year, it does not matter how many or how few courses you are enrolled in during that academic year. The exception could be those student teaching in an urban assignment.
If you have any questions, please see your instructor or contact the Education Student Services Office.
