All University of North Alabama education majors must be fingerprinted and cleared by ABI/FBI. You must have a fingerprint clearance to be admitted to teacher education and before you do any clinical observations.

 

Step 1:



Visit the Cogent website at http://www.cogentid.com/al/index.htm and click on the Department of Education logo to review information pertaining to background checks.

While on this website, applicants must register online for their fingerprint appointment BEFORE arriving at fingerprint location. The fingerprint scanning fee is $54.15.
