Clearance Background Check Process

Contract Review

Candidates in approved professional educational programs are required to provide a clearance background check when registering for a course that requires a field experience. It is strongly recommended that all students have completed the background check process by DROP / ADD each semester due to the increased turn around time by the state departments involved. The process is currently taking 8-10 weeks.

Find out if your clearance background check process has been successfully completed and entered in your record by using my麻豆传媒 Portal Login and then reviewing in Leo Online your Test Score page.
