Bluegrass Community and Technical College has worked with Verified Credentials, Inc. to establish an acceptable screening procedure at a cost of $43.00. Students who fail to submit a background check prior to the established deadline, August 13, 2009, may not be eligible for clinical placement.
Please follow the directions below for submitting your application to Verified Credentials:
Upon completion the results of the background screening will be sent to you via email and to Bluegrass Community and Technical College.
