All Interns and Practicum Students
- FYI Fingerprinting relies completely on the HCPSS Preservice Database.
- College of Education interns and School Psychology practicum students are already in the database so they can go ahead to be fingerprinted.
- Interns in other colleges (music, art, PE, dance, SLP, etc.) shall only be fingerprinted once their supervisor informs them of a confirmed placement. Interns who show up for fingerprinting without a confirmed placement in the database will not be seen.
- Interns must review the packet and complete the top portion of the HCPSS Fingerprinting Procedure and Pre-Registration Form 2025. Interns do not complete the Agency Information section. Bring the completed top portion of the application to your fingerprinting appointment.
- Interns must be fingerprinting by July 18 or at least 4 weeks before internship begins if internship starts late.
What if I have been fingerprinted recently by another organization in Maryland?
- HCPSS does not accept fingerprint background checks from other organizations. All full-time interns, Speech and Language Pathology students, and School Psychology Practicum Students must be fingerprinted by HCPSS.
- If you have been fingerprinted by HCPSS within the last 365 days, you will not need to be fingerprinted again. Please email Ms. Barbara Liberto at barbara_liberto@hcpss.org and CC Ms. Jennifer Mascott at jennifer_mascott@hcpss.org if you have been an active substitute for the district.
