Criminal Background Check Information & Inquiry Release For Students and Volunteers
Elizabethtown College’s Policy Regarding Minors on Campus provides that employees, students, volunteers, and third party
contractors who are expected to work directly with minors are required to successfully complete a criminal background screening
prior to beginning any assignment involving minors and to participate in required training. This requirement is fulfilled for staff and
faculty under the College’s Background Checks Policy, and third party contractors are required to screen their own employees
prior to beginning any such assignment.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I understand that I am covered by the Policy Regarding Minors on Campus as a student or volunteer who may be working directly
with minors, and I understand that my consent to such criminal background screening is a condition of my initial and continued
participation in any College program involving minors. I have carefully read the Policy Regarding Minors on Campus and this Consent
and Release Form, and I hereby consent to such criminal background screenings, including those performed by any consumer
reporting agency at the College’s request. This consent will continue to apply throughout the period of my participation in any such
College program to the extent permitted by law.
Reports prepared by a consumer reporting agency based on its criminal background screenings may constitute consumer or
investigative consumer reports as defined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Such reports may include federal, state or local criminal
history records or information pertaining to me, and other information concerning my education, qualifications, work experience,
character, general reputation, personal characteristics and/or mode of living. I hereby authorize any consumer reporting agency to
release and disclose, verbally and in writing, these reports and this information to authorized representatives of [camp/conference
name] within the terms of the Policy Regarding Minors on Campus.
I hereby authorize all persons and entities including, without limitation, educational institutions, my current and former employers,
government agencies and police departments, to disclose and provide all relevant records and information requested by a consumer
reporting agency or Elizabethtown College as part of any criminal background screening obtained pursuant to the Policy Regarding
Minors on Campus; and I hereby forever release and discharge (1) Elizabethtown College, (2) any consumer reporting agency that
performs any criminal background screening at the College’s request pursuant to the Policy Regarding Minors on Campus, and (3)
any person or entity including, without limitation, any educational institution, my current and former employers, any government
agency or police department that discloses or provides records or information requested by Elizabethtown College or any consumer
reporting agency as part of a criminal background screening obtained pursuant to the Policy Regarding Minors on Campus
(collectively, the “Releasees”), as well as all of the Releasees’ trustees, directors, officers, employees and representatives, from any
claims, suits, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses arising as the result of or in any way related to their participation in the
performance of any background check, information verification, and/or other action taken pursuant to the Policy Regarding Minors on
Campus, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
I hereby certify that the information I have provided below is true and complete to the best of my knowledge. I understand that if any
such information is materially false or incomplete, it will be sufficient cause for termination of my participation as a student or
volunteer in any Elizabethtown College program covered by the Policy Regarding Minors on Campus, now or in the future. I agree
that this Consent and Release Form, in original, faxed, photocopied or electronic form, will be valid for any criminal background
screening, reports or other purposes under the Policy Regarding Minors on Campus.
