APPENDIX I The information below is in regards to completion of volunteer background checks for your Council of Trustees volunteerism. The following documents and instructions below provide the details you will need to complete the required clearances: • Please complete and return the Volunteer Form. This can be emailed to me directly at reichertre@kutztown.edu • Pennsylvania State Police Clearance - As a volunteer, there is no charge for this background check, you will need to go to this link: https://epatch.state.pa.us/TandCVolunteerAction.do and follow the directions to complete this online. Please put down Kutztown University as the Volunteer agency, and use the phone number 610-683-1353 when asked. When the clearance is complete, I will need a copy for our files. You may forward that to reichertre@kutztown.edu • Child Abuse History Clearance - Included are instructions for completing the Child Abuse clearance online. However, you will be selecting “Volunteer” as the purpose for clearance (page 12 of the instructions), rather than a School Employee. As a volunteer, this clearance is free once every 57 months. The link is: https://www.compass.state.pa.us/cwis/public/home. • FBI fingerprint Clearance - Due to the volunteer nature of your position you may not be subject to the FBI fingerprinting check. If you’ve been a resident of Pennsylvania for the entirety of at least the last ten consecutive years prior to the date of your background check you may forgo fingerprinting. You will still need to complete both the Pennsylvania State Police Clearance and the Child Abuse History Clearance and return to me as noted above. • If you have not lived in PA for ten years, you will need to do the FBI fingerprint clearance, please let me know ASAP, and I will send you instructions for FBI fingerprinting. • If you have current (after 2016) clearances for any of these, please send in copies with your volunteer form, as we may be able to use these instead. • All clearances must be completed.
