Each of Mid Michigan College's Early Childhood Education (ECE) students is required to pass the following requirements before lab hours can start
- TB test (current within 12 months)
- DHHS Central Registry Clearance (current within two years)
- ICHAT (criminal history) search
- National Sex Offender Registry (NSOR) search
Students are responsible for completing the DHHS-1929 Form. The ECE Director will perform Michigan ICHAT and NSOR checks at no cost to the student.
The following registry checks are required if the student has resided out of state in the past five (5) years
- State Criminal History Registry Check
- State Child Abuse/Neglect Registry Check
The Michigan DHHS Central Registry Check and Michigan State Police ICHAT do not provide information for other states. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain forms from all receiving states and pay any fees associated with the checks. Students must provide Mid Michigan College's ECE Director with copies of the background checks performed.
Mid Michigan College does not reimburse the student for the cost of getting out-of-state background checks.
By signing this form, I give permission for the Mid Michigan College
ECE Director to conduct criminal history (ICHAT) and National Sex Offender Registry (NSOR) background searches for the purpose of the ECE fieldwork/lab site course requirement.
