TB Test and Criminal Background Check

State law requires that all student teachers have a current TB Test while student teaching.  You are advised to call prior to going to any of the clinics listed on this information sheet.   Please remember to bring a photo ID to the clinic, and return this completed form to the Office of Field Placements at either campus.

If you are a student in the Elementary, Early Childhood, Special Education, Music Education or Secondary Education teacher preparation programs or in the School Counselor program, you need to have completed a Background Check through Argus Services BEFORE participating in any Field Experiences including classroom observations, internships, practicums and student teaching. Only Argus background checks are acceptable (regardless if you have completed a background check in the past through another company).

The cost is $34.00 and students may pay by cash, check or credit card.  Bring your photo ID. Argus background checks are good for three (3) years.

If you need a background check you must call Argus to make an appointment. Students may call Argus Services at 312-377-9441 to schedule an appointment. Argus is conveniently located at 123 W. Madison, Suite 1200, Chicago, IL.
