The Division of Continuing Education of Wilson Community College recognizes and is fully supportive of
clinical agencies that require a drug screen, background check, or fingerprinting on students. Costs of
these tests are the responsibility of the student. The College has partnered with Castle Branch for these
tests. No other provider will be accepted. The cost is $90. Students are required to sign up for the drug
screen and criminal background check at www.castlebranch.com; package code: WD71 (bgdt) background
