Background Checks

The University of Utah requires all staff, faculty, and volunteers who work with minors to complete a Youth Protection training and a background check every 3 years. If you are a new CDT parent, or if you completed this training prior to 2017, you must complete the training and background check by Friday, March 6. If you have already completed a background check this year, please disregard.

Click Here to Initiate a Background Check

Background Checks

At least one parent from each family is required to initiate a background check, which will last for three years. The background check costs $13. Those who complete the background check will receive 2 hours of volunteer time.

The University also accepts documentation of a background check from a public school through a local school district from the past three years in lieu of a background check through the University. You may send that documentation to tannerdance@utah.edu.

Start a Background Check

After you have paid for a background check, Tanner Dance will automatically submit the request for you. You will be receiving an email from applicationstation@certiphi.com requesting information to set up and process the background check. The process cannot be completed until you have responded to this request.

This link provides information about the process: https://www.hr.utah.edu/forms/lib/Certiphi_Background_Check_Info.pdf

Youth Protection Training

At least one parent from each CDT family is required to complete the online 30 minutes training. A link will be emailed to you once you complete the background check process.

Costume Magic!

Our costumers are hard at work making hundreds of spectacular creations for concert! We’d like to say a special thank you to the Lawrence T. and Janet T. Dee Foundation who generously donated the funds for two new sewing machines and a serger. This contribution supports the amazing artistry of the costume shop!
