Hi, I just completed my application packet for the Evening program starting in May 2011. I requested the child abuse clearance, paid the $10, and a certificate came in the mail. That is what they need. I didnt want to waste any time so I called Katy at the admissions for the evening program and asked her if it was ok to bring it to her in person and she said that would be fine. For the criminal check, i paid the $10, and it automatically told me i do not have a record, it allows you to print it, which i did, I made copies of it in case i need it for future reference soon, or if they claim they didnt receive it, and i stuck the print out along with my 2 letters of recomendation and essay. I hope this helps. Dec 1 is the deadline. They will be making their decisions no later than March 2011.
