    How long is my report valid?

    Your background check can be accessed by your school indefinitely. Some organizations may require 're-checks' on an annual or semi-annual basis. The time frame in which organizations consider background checks to be valid varies depending on individual policies.


    Is it important for applicants to be re-screened?

    Yes. Considering a lot can happen in a year, many organizations require 're-checks' on an annual or semi-annual basis.


    How do I provide my students with instructions for using your site?

    Once you have signed up with PreCheck, our Client Services Manager will send you a student instruction sheet detailing the application and submittal process for the students.


    It has been more than 5 days. Where are my results?

    All aspects of your background check must be complete before results are posted for review. Also, some components such as employment and/or professional license verifications can at times take longer, as they are dependent upon the responsiveness and cooperation of the individuals being contacted for information. A contact that is out of the office, hard to reach, or does not promptly return our phone calls can result in delays. Drug screening can at times take longer, as it is dependent upon the specific site you visited, also. Please remember that 3 to 5 days refers to business days and standard business hours; weekends are not included. If you have concerns regarding the time period that has elapsed, please contact us at StudentCheck@PreCheck.com to check your background reports status.


    I sent in a money order for my background check. When will my background check be run?

    When we receive your money order request via mail, we ensure it is for the correct amount, then immediately start processing your report. We will not begin processing your report until the money order is received. It is very important that you use current email address when you submit your order since this is the only way to receive communication from us. If you would like to check on the status of your report, please contact us at StudentCheck@PreCheck.com.


    My package contains a drug test. I have already submitted my order online. What do I do next?

    Once your payment has been received, you will be able to print out a receipt and will receive a confirmation email. Print that receipt or email and take a copy of it to the administrator that gave you the original instruction form. The administrator will provide you with a Chain of Custody form (the order form for your drug test) and directions to a drug testing facility. Once you have taken your drug test, results will be sent to your administrator within 24-72 hours.

    In order to submit reports, we suggest that you use Mozilla or Internet Explore 5.5 or later. If you do not have I.E., we have made it available for download on the left side of our StudentCheck screen.
