Dear Student:

Northwest-Shoals Community College now requires background checks for all students currently enrolled in a Health Studies Program.  This is to ensure a safe environment for both students and the public. 

Northwest-Shoals Community College has worked with Verified Credentials, Inc. to establish an acceptable screening procedure.  Students who fail to submit a background check will not be allowed to continue in the Health Studies Program.

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 Northwest-Shoals Community College.  If any information is found that would negatively affect your progression in your 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 Client Services at 800-938-6090

It is important that you submit information by the deadline given to you by your school. Thank you for your prompt attention to this request.
