Criminal Background Check
Several of the affiliated sites associated with Cumberland University now require background checks in order to ensure the safety of their patients and student-athletes. Therefore, it is mandatory for all students to obtain a criminal background check. The Cumberland University AT Program has partnered with Reference Services, Inc. to administer background checks on all athletic training students. They have partnered with national leaders in the industry to provide clients with an all-inclusive Athletic Training Handbook – Academics 22 method of conducting background checks. Through these partnerships, they are able to offer more options to us. They use the Criminal Database Searches including RAPSHEET Criminal Report, Criminal National Search, and US Sex Offender Reports. Each Athletic Training Student will be required to obtain a criminal background check at their own expense in order to meet the requirements of the AT Program. The cost to the student is currently $18.00 and is subject to change; however, the student will be given ample notice should such a change occur. Each student is required to obtain a criminal background check through Reference Services, Inc. by completing the instructions that are sent to you via email from Reference Services, Inc.
