All Interns and Practicum Students
- FYI Fingerprinting relies completely on the HCPSS Preservice Database.
- Interns at PDS sites and School Psychology practicum students are already in the database so they can go ahead to be fingerprinted.
- Interns outside of PDS sites (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 LIVESCAN Pre-Registration Form. 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 19 or at least 4 weeks before internship begins if internship starts late.
What if I have been fingerprinted recently by another organization in Maryland?
- If you have been fingerprinted by HCPSS within the last 365 days, you will not need to be fingerprinted again.
- If you have been fingerprinted by another district within the last 365 days, please complete the top portion of the Maryland 365 form with the 12-digit reference number from your most previous background check. Email the 365 form to Ms. Barbara Liberto (barbara_liberto@hcpss.org) and CC Ms. Jennifer Mascott (jennifer_mascott@hcpss.org).
- You should have received a letter from the State of Maryland with your previous background check results. The 12-digit number above the barcode on this letter is the reference number you must enter into the 365 form.
