Student Teaching & Certification | Fingerprinting Requirement

New York State law requires that the Office of School Personnel Review and Accountability conduct fingerprint supported criminal history background checks for applicants for certification and all prospective employees of school districts, charter schools and BOCES. 

Adelphi offers a fingerprinting service each semester sponsored by SCOPE (Suffolk County Organization for the Promotion of Education).  Please check with the School of Education's main office, Harvey Hall Room 130, or call 516.877.4080 for the current semester's date for fingerprinting.

  • bring a photo ID with you to the assigned fingerprinting session.
  • complete consent form for fingerprinting, criminal history records search, and fingerprinting cards at session.
