Gadsden State Community College now requires background checks for all students applying to the Therapeutic massage Program and students enrolled in health science programs requiring a clinical component in a health care agency.  This is to ensure a safe environment for both students and the public. 

Gadsden State Community College has worked with Verified Credentials, Inc. to establish an acceptable screening procedure.  Please follow the directions below for submitting your application to Verified Credentials:

• Select your program from the drop down menu.
• Complete and sign disclosure.
• Complete information page.
• Step 3 allows payment by credit card or bank transfer.  Make selection and place order. 

Upon completion the results of the background screening will be sent to you via email and to Gadsden State Community College.  If any information is found that would negatively affect your eligibility for the Health Sciences Program, you will be given an opportunity to challenge the information through the Adverse Action process associated with Verified Credentials.  If you have any questions please contact Consumer Services at 800-938-6090.  

It is important that you submit information in a timely fashion. Thank you for your prompt attention to this request.
