Harford County Public Schools

Fingerprinting and Orientation Materials- Required of All TU Students

  1. Complete both Step 1 Fingerprinting and Step 2 Orientation Materials on the Harford County Public Schools website: https://www.hcps.org/staff/studentinterns.aspx 
  2. All TU students must be fingerprinted in HCPS by July 19.
    • HCPS has advised that all TU interns matriculate to full-time interns and thus should follow the full-time fingerprinting directions.
  3. All TU students must complete trainings between July 8 – August 2.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Supervisor of Teacher Preparation and Professional Development: Rebecca Spencer at rebecca.spencer@hcps.org.

What if I have been fingerprinted recently by HCPS or another district in Maryland?

  1. HCPS does not accept fingerprint background checks from other districts. All interns with an internship in HCPS must be fingerprinted by HCPS.
  2. If you have been fingerprinted by HCPS within the last 365 days, you will not need to be fingerprinted again. Please email CPP@towson.edu if you have been an active substitute in the district.
