General Instructions for the Criminal Background Check
The student must indicate, when requesting the CBC, that he/she is a student teacher
candidate and request that the copy be sent to the student. The sealed envelope with the
WILMU label, when received, must be delivered to the appropriate Clinical Studies Office
in the College of Education. Note: a reduced fee is charged for student teachers for the
CBC.
The University will send a confirmation to the teacher candidate verifying the receipt of
the CBC and the CPR within five (5) business days of receipt of both reports.
The CBC and the CPR will be reviewed by the Office of Clinical Studies for a
determination of whether or not the candidate is deemed suitable for student teaching
placement, and notification of such determination will be mailed within seven (7)
business days of the date the University notifies the student of receipt of the reports. The
Clinical Placement Coordinator may consult with the Dean of Education or the Dean’s
designee, if needed, for guidance, typically on an anonymous basis.
If the determination is that the teacher candidate is NOT suitable, the teacher candidate
will receive a copy of the University’s Suitability Appeal Process.
Please note: placement is contingent on a suitability determination both by the
University AND the district or charter school in which the University is attempting to
place the teacher candidate, in addition to meeting all other eligibility requirements. If
deemed suitable by the University, the school district/charter school in which the
University is attempting to place a student will receive a copy of the reports and a
statement that the teacher candidate was determined suitable according to the
Wilmington University Guidelines. The district/charter school will then review the
reports to determine in its sole discretion if it will place the teacher candidate in a
student teaching position. Such decision is final; the teacher candidate is not afforded an
appeal process by the school district or charter school.

TO BE COMPLETED BY A PHYSICIAN OR HEALTH CARE PROVIDER
Dear Physician/Health Care Provider:
This candidate is applying to enroll in student teaching. This is the long-term, school-
based, supervised field experience that occurs at the end of a teacher preparation
program. A student teacher is required to assume an active role in the instruction of
children/youth over a period of several months. In addition to the technical and
intellectual abilities required, a student teacher must also possess the physical stamina
and emotional stability required of a classroom teacher.
Due to the length of the experience and the level of responsibility that must be assumed,
all student teachers must be screened before they are given final approval to begin
working in schools. The Health Certificate below is part of the screening process. Thank
you for your assistance.
