12. By submitting this application, I give consent for SIUE to share any educational records, background check information and drug screening information with school partners.


BACKGROUND CHECKS: All students must have a background check clear of all enumerated offenses on file in OCECA before a placement will be confirmed. Students needing information about the background check should visit http://www.siue.edu/education/advisement/backgroundcheckinfo.shtml.

Should the information contained in the background check change, it is their obligation to inform OCECA. Changes in criminal history could impact future placements and/or eventual certification.

DRUG SCREENING: Some districts require all candidates to be screened for illegal drugs before being placed in classrooms for observations or student teaching.  The drug screening can be obtained in the local area.  The drug screening process must be complete prior to placement within classrooms.  Students are responsible for the cost of the drug screening.  You will be notified if the district in which you are placed requires a drug screening. 

Any questions regarding your placement may be directed to Nancy Waltz at 650-2469 or e-mail nwaltz@siue.edu.
