PLEASE NOTE:
1) The background checks are valid for the whole year. This means that
if you had MTH 261SL last semester and your background check for that
class was clear, you don't have to do anything. You are good to start
tutoring as soon as your schedule is confirmed.
2) If you took MTH 261 earlier, and you did not apply for the
background check for other reasons, you will have to
do it yourself. The same applies if you haven't taken MTH 261 yet. Please read the information below and submit your ICHAT
form as soon as possible, so that you don't delay your tutoring.
In the past the Center for Student Services (CSS) has been able to run
ICHAT’s (background checks) for students free of charge with a “Release
of Information Form.” Due to new state laws CSS is no longer able to
run ICHAT’s for students and they will no longer be free of charge. In
regards to the required ICHAT’s for pre-student teaching and student
teaching, students are required to run their own ICHAT (the cost is
$10) and turn them into CSS on the required deadline dates.
Please do the following:
1. Visit
the ICHAT Website at: https://apps.michigan.gov/ and click on "Get Started"
2. Click on
“Register” to create an ICHAT Account
3. Click on
“Background Search” and enter your information
4. Click on
“Check out” to pay the $10.00 fee
5. Click on
“View Results” to check the results of their background check (This is
the page to print for verification).
6. Bring a
copy of the ICHAT to CSS, EHS 421 with faculty name (that's my name) and course number
(that's MTH 362) on the ICHAT form.
