Frequently Asked Questions
Q) What if I have a background check from another school district, agency, etc. Do I need to get a background check from LCPS?
A) YES, every agency is different and requires that a background check be completed specifically for them.
Q) I have a Blue Card from LCPS, is it still good?
A) Depends on when it was issued if you graduated or withdrew from the University. If you graduated and are a returning student in another program, you are required to complete an updated background check and finally, if you withdrew from the university or stepped-out and did not enroll in classes for one semester or more, you are required to complete a new background check.
