Undergraduate students are required to have the following clearances:

There is a small fee for the FBI fingerprint clearance.  The State Police clearance and the child abuse clearance fees should be waived by the state of PA for volunteers.  Students must allow time for these to be processed, therefore, it is imperative that students begin the application as soon as possible.  Always click volunteer and if it requests a place that is not listed, click other and/or type in University of Scranton.
  • Pennsylvania State Police - PATCH
    • Can be applied for directly through CastleBranch.com when setting up your account for a fee (see CastleBranch below)
    • or you can apply for your own through the link above (click on “new records check,” volunteers, and proceed)
  • IdentoGO Fingerprints -- (code: 1KG6ZJ) -- click here for further instructions
    • Once the registration for fingerprints is complete, you can take the registration to a local IdentoGO site. One is located inside the Steamtown Marketplace on Lackawanna Ave.
    • If IdentoGO emails you a link, be careful.  Be sure to save the document -- the link works one time only and will expire.
  • Pennsylvania Child Abuse Clearance
