Upcoming Background Checks for MCCD

Published

I'm surprised no one has brough it up yet. Does anyone other than myself believe that the new background check requirements coming in September for Maricopa Community Colleges will have a huge impact on those already in class including those about to start for Fall? In addition, I would think it will have a large impact on the waitlist as well. The way I read it, almost any non-traffic misdemeanor conviction may cause you to be ineligible for the program completely and be asked to leave if you are already in classes.

In the BNFP program and scheduled to take CNA course in Spring. Had a retention meeting today where we were told that our LEVEL ONE clearance card could NOT have any restrictions. However, that is not stated anywhere under the new background check standards. This concerns me...I have a Level One but with driving restrictions (out of state DUI 4 yrs back, DPS said restriction will fall off once I hit the 5 yr mark) basically, I'm not allowed to transport people as part of my employment, however I can drive myself anywhere. I'm in the clear with the background check because it was more than 3 yrs ago. Obviously, they gave me the Level One clearance so I met DPS higher standards than the "regular" card. Does anyone else have restrictions on theirs? If so, have you run into any problems or been told you cannot participate?

Did the background and already got my results back as well as my level 1 card. It was pretty easy. It took about 2 days and they check everything. I just printed out the results and just need to go flash it at an adviser lol
