  • BCI Fingerprinting and Background Check

Step Two: Complete BCI Fingerprinting and Background Check

BCI fingerprinting and background check is required before being placed into NURS 1010. This can ONLY be done through your Complio account created in step one. When ordering the compliance bundle, potential nursing students should always select the following: Cuyahoga Community College> New Student> Health Professions and Nursing - Nursing/ADN

Again, you CANNOT start NURS 1010 without a completed background check.

Note: Results can take 4-6 weeks to be returned and marked as complete.

If you have previously started a Complio account account please email NursingCompliance@tri-c.edu BEFORE starting a new account. Please allow 48 business hours for a response.

The cost of the background check and fingerprinting is included in the cost to create a Complio account. If a second BCI background check and/or fingerprinting is required, an additional fee will be incurred.

Please refer to the table below for time frames associated with completing all of the American Data Bank - Complio requirements.

All items must be marked as APPROVED; items marked as pending or rejected will cause your account to be considered incomplete.
