Fingerprints
The Alabama State Department of Education (ALSDE) requires that all undergraduate students in a teacher certification program have their fingerprints cleared through the ABI/FBI. Fingerprinting and a clear background check are required for admission to teacher education.
The ALSDE uses Cogent Systems as the vendor for the outsourcing of fingerprinting services. All individuals enrolled in a teacher certification program are to use this system to meet the fingerprinting/background check requirement.
Information, including online registration and fingerprinting procedures, is available on the Cogent Systems website. The physical fingerprinting site for Auburn, Alabama is Pak Mail, 300 North Dean Road (Kroger Shopping Center).
