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.
