Background Check Information

Effective Jan. 12, 2013, the BCI process may begin no sooner than six months prior to entry into a health care or nursing program and no later than the first day of program entry. (Program entry is defined as a student’s first day of classes in which the student begins their program.) 

The process for students planning to register for NURS-1010: Introduction to Patient Care Concepts should fall within the established guidelines. Failure to meet all required objectives successfully can delay entry into the course. 

Tri-C has partnered with Complio to provide students with a secure account to manage health, background check and fingerprinting requirements. Click here for information on beginning this process.

You must set up your Complio account and start the fingerprinting/background check process within six months of your anticipated NURS-1010 start date. If the process is completed more than six months prior to entering NURS-1010, you will need to complete additional background check/fingerprinting at your own expense prior to starting the program. 

If you have previously started a Complio account account please email NursingCompliance@tri-c.edu BEFORE starting a new account. Please allow 48 business hours for a response.

If you have already started an account in CastleBranch, you ARE REQUIRED to start a new account in Complio.
