WGU Background Check - How Long Does It Take?

Nursing Students Western Governors

Updated:   Published

I didn't realize required a background check through American Databank until today, so I created an account with them, submitted the required information and paid the $42 fee online with a credit card.

How long does it take for the school to receive the results of the background check? If I had read more carefully, I would have gotten the ball rolling on this background check nearly a month ago when I first applied to WGU.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light. I'm in Texas if it matters. ?

UPDATE: The results of my background check were emailed to me this afternoon, so this item is completed and out of the way. I am so excited about possibly starting on May 1st!
