Fingerprinting and Background Checks
A cleared background check is required for all field experiences: practicum, internship, and student teaching. Background checks for school-based experiences must be logged in the COOL system (Colorado Department of Education). All background checks must go through the CBI and FBI and reported to the correct entity (CDE or the College of Education). The College of Education will provide a voucher for ONE background check per student.
The College of Education does NOT issue reimbursements for fingerprinting appointments. Your voucher code will not work if you have already scheduled your appointment.
