Requesting Level 2 – DCF Screening for Summer Camps/Activities

When requesting Level 2 – DCF screening, a completed Clearinghouse Applicant Request Form and Clearinghouse Privacy Policy Acknowledge Form must be submitted to Talent Acquisition & Onboarding via either via:

1. fax (352-846-3058) or
2. DropBox (please place documents in a DropBox folder and then email the link to the folder to HRBackgrounds@admin.ufl.edu).
   1. Depending on the setting of your folder, you may be asked to authorize access to your folder.
   2. Please visit “How to Share A File ” on UF Dropbbox FAQs page for additional instructions on sharing DropBox folders.
3. Do not send via email. 

• Talent Acquisition & Onboarding will notify you if a fingerprinting appointment is required.
• Schedule a fingerprinting appointment with Human Resources or an approved UF vendor once approval is provided by Talent Acquisition & Onboarding.
• Use the Fingerprinting Appointment Online Scheduler to make an appointment. Appointment details will be provided in a separate email.
• Create a separate folder to store the Clearance Privacy Policy Acknowledgment form, Affidavit of Good Moral Character, and screening results, including public records, in a secure location.

If an employee completes the fingerprinting before receiving approval from Talent Acquisition & Onboarding, the hiring department will incur additional costs. The department will be responsible for the cost of extra screening if multiple requests are made for the same individual.
