    You will need to use package code UM54 to begin the process of applying for your clearances and completing your requirements via castlebranch.com.

    Depending on your field site, you may also be required to complete a 10-panel drug screen (UM54dt).

    UM54ex: I am placing an order with CastleBranch for the first time, I already have my PA State Police Results.

    If you are a returning student and need to order a recheck package, use code UM54r.
