--------------------- Student Instructions – Background Checks ---------------

University of Central Oklahoma – Teacher Education Services (TES) has chosen Trak-1 as an approved provider of background checks for students. Trak-1.com is a company that provides a background check service that allows students to order their own background check online for a low cost of $10.29. Information collected through Trak-1 is secure, tamper-proof, and kept confidential. The services performed by Trak-1 are based on guidelines provided by the University of Central Oklahoma and in accordance with the Oklahoma State Department of Education. Results are delivered to the student and the university. It may take up to 72 hours to process a background check.

1. Go to www.uco.edu/ceps, scroll down to the “quick links”, click on “Trak-1 background checks” 2. Read through the FAQ. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to be re-directed to the Trak-1

website. 3. Fill out the requested information. Be sure to select the appropriate department or Teacher

Education, then select major. (For example: Teacher Education – major: English Education) An email will be sent for verification of email address and as an invitation to complete the background check application.

4. Follow the online instructions and submit payment of $10.29. 5. Backgrounds expire after one year. You will be able to renew at the same rate of $10.29.

Once your order is submitted, if requested, you will receive a copy of your background check via email from Trak-1. Another copy will be sent to the appropriate coordinator at UCO. Results are typically available within 24 – 48 hours, though some searches take longer so please allow adequate time. **If something is reported on your background check that is not related to your actions contact Trak-1 for the dispute at no charge, https://trak-1.com/consumer-disupute-form or call 1.800.600.8999 and ask for the consumer dispute department. **Do NOT jeopardize your placement.
