DPS Computerized Criminal History (CCH) Verification

(AGENCY COPY)

I, , acknowledge that a Computerized Criminal APPLICANT or EMPLOYEE NAME (Please print)

History (CCH) check will be performed by accessing the Texas Department of Public Safety Secure

Website and will be based on name and DOB identifiers I supply. (This is not a consent form.) Authority

for this agency to access an individual’s criminal history data may be found in Texas Government Code

411; Subchapter F.

Name-based information is not an exact search and only fingerprint record searches represent

true identification to criminal history, therefore the organization conducting the criminal history check is

not allowed to discuss with me any criminal history record information obtained using this method. The

agency may request that I have a fingerprint search performed to clear any misidentification based on

the result of the name and DOB search. Once this process is completed the information on my

fingerprint criminal history record may be discussed with me.

In order to complete the process I must make an appointment with the Fingerprint Applicant

Services of Texas (FAST) as instructed online at www.txdps.state.tx.us /Crime Records/Review of

Personal Criminal History or by calling the DPS Program Vendor at 1-888-467-2080, submit a full and

complete set of fingerprints, request a copy be sent to the agency listed below, and pay a fee of $24.95 to

the fingerprinting services company.

Student Records Policies and ProceduresConfidentiality of Education Records

UNIVERSITY POLICY STATES THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD YOUR PASSWORD BE SHARED WITH OTHER EMPLOYEES OR STUDENT WORKERS!

1. GeneralThe Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 is a federal law that grantsto students the right to inspect, to obtain copies, to challenge and, to a degree,control the release of information contained in his or her education records. Theact and regulations are very lengthy and for that reason Tarleton State Universityhas issued guidelines which are Available to students in the Office of the Dean ofStudents. Students are urged to acquaint themselves with the guidelines.

2. Directory InformationThe following Directory Information may be given out without the student’sconsent:

A. Personal DataIncludes students’ mailing address, all telephone numbers, emailand date of birth.

B. Enrollment DataIncludes students’ academic program (school of record, degreeobjectives, majors, minors, and anticipated date of graduation),classification, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received,and previous educational agency or institution(s) attended.

C. Athletic Participation DataIncludes participation in officially recognized activities and sports,and weight and height of members of athletic teams.

Items/data not designated directory information can only be released with the consent of the student or without the consent of the student in a few specific situations, such as dependent of parent.

Students have the right to limit and restrict the release of this information by notifying the Office of the Registrar. Requests for restriction of Directory Information items are to be filled out in person, on the appropriate form, within 10 days after the first class day.

3. Parental Certification of Student DependencyThe family Educational Rights and Privacy Act restricts Tarleton State Universityfrom releasing academic information to anyone, including parents, without thestudent’s permission to release such information. FERPA permits an exception tothis policy when the parents claim the student as a dependent on their income tothis policy when the parents claim the student as a dependent on their income taxform sunder the rules of section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954.Parents must complete a Parental Certification form in the Office of the Registrar,annually, to certify the dependency of their son or daughter and to be eligible toreceive academic information upon request.

Page 13: THIS CANDIDATE IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO WORK …Send HR COMPLETED Initiate to Hire o HR runs background check o HR creates system record Manager and Department Contact receive HR email

4. Release of Information on CampusThe Act does allow release of information to faculty, staff and other students of theinstitution, but ONLY on a bona fide “need to know” basis. What constitutes a bonafide “need to know” can be unclear, and at times there can be differing interpretations.“Need to know” means that the information is needed for the staff, faculty, or studentto carry out their Tarleton function. It does not include “would like to know.” Theremust be a clear relationship between obtaining the information and the successfulmeeting of assigned Tarleton job responsibilities.

Each staff member is responsible to release information only upon the careful determination that the information is needed for a bona fide “need to know” reason and to request information for our use with a “need to know.”

The most common possible abuse of student information comes from employees or students who have family members, friends, or acquaintances as students.

“Need to Know” must be established prior to releasing any confidential information. Remember, that if it isn’t one of the Directory Information items, then it is CONFIDENTIAL. If in doubt, then DON’T release the information without consulting your supervisor.

Reports that contain confidential student information, anything that isn’t Directory Information, should have a cover memo and/or notation on the report stating that the information contained in the report is confidential, provided on a “Need to Know” basis, cannot be released to non-Tarleton State University persons and can only bereleased to other Tarleton State University persons on a “need to know” basis.

guardians who sign/file the Certification of Dependency form, the National Student Clearinghouse acting as an

agent of Tarleton State University, scholarship agencies or an embassy for example) who fulfill the requirements

under FERPA. Confidential information includes anything not defined as “directory information” by Tarleton State

University, as well as, directory information a student has put a hold on with the paper form.

I acknowledge that I fully understand that the intentional disclosure by me of this information to any unauthorized

person could subject me to criminal and civil penalties imposed by law. I further acknowledge that such willful or
