Fingerprinting and Background Checks

Students also advised that some hospitals and outpatient clinics require that pharmacy students submit to fingerprinting and criminal background checks and receive appropriate clearance before they will be permitted to participate in clinical rotations at those institutions. Students who do not submit to fingerprinting and/or receive appropriate clearance may be unable to fulfill their academic requirements at the College of Pharmacy, and therefore may not be able to complete their educational program. Unless otherwise paid for by the hospitals or outpatient clinics, students will be required to bear the expense of such screening. Neither The University of Arizona nor the College of Pharmacy pays or reimburses for the expenses related to background checking or fingerprint clearance.

Fingerprint Clearance Cards

Fingerprint clearance cards are available for pharmacy students through the Department of Public Safety. Offenses that preclude someone from obtaining a clearance card may be found in A.R.S. 41-1758.03. More information regarding fingerprinting is available in A.R.S 15-1881.

The fingerprint application will include a "check box" for Health Sciences Student and Clinical Assistant. These applicants will not have to provide DPS with any additional documents. By checking the Health Sciences Student and Clinical Assistant program and signing the application form, the applicant is attesting to the fact that they are eligible to receive a clearance card under that program.

Criminal Background Checks

Criminal background checks may be obtained through a variety of sources. Please check with the institution requiring the background check before choosing a vendor.
