Background Check Instructions
In accordance with the College policy, all employees, interns, and volunteers must complete a Level II
background screening once they have been selected or scheduled for an assignment.
• Payment for the fingerprinting to acquire a criminal background check is paid by the employee via
payroll deduction. An authorization for deduction form will be provided, and Human Resources will
process the set up for such deduction.
• Volunteers and interns in non-paid assignments will be responsible to make a direct payment to the
College’s Cashier office and produce a receipt before the fingerprinting appointment is arranged.
• The College’s live scan equipment to acquire fingerprints is located at the Pensacola campus, Public
Safety/College Police department entrance area, building 5. The department may be reached at
850.484.2500, or x-2500 on campus to set up an appointment for fingerprinting.
• All parties who are printed by the College’s live scan are required to complete a VECHS Waiver Form
which will be provided by Human Resources, or available at the Public Safety/College Police.
Completed VECHS Waivers forms will be maintained by the Human Resources department for each
individual.
