CEP Application for Practicum/Internship

Transcription

1 CEP Application for Practicum/Internship To receive permission to enroll, a new application is required for both the practicum and internship sequence. That is, you will submit 1 application for practicum and 1 application for internship. Summer and Fall applications are due March 1; Spring applications are due October 1. Applications should be typed, signed in pen, and stapled. Submission of this page (1) is not necessary. 1. HIPAA Certificate: (first application only) Complete the UMKC online Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) training/tutorial. After completing the training, print the certification you will receive and submit it with your application. 2. Background Check a. School Counseling students must complete this step for the first practicum semester. The UMKC School of Education s Field Experience Coordinator, Dea Marx marxd@umkc.edu, will contact students who must complete the background check process again after the first practicum experience. Background check receipt: This is a copy of the receipt for the individual's FBI background check. The cost of a Missouri background check (as of March 19, 2012) is $ Due to the length of time it takes to process, fingerprints must be submitted no later than March 1 st for the summer or fall semesters, and October 1 st for the spring semester, and the receipt must be submitted with this application. The initial background check must be processed through DESE (MO). Missouri: 4-digit Registration Number: 6692 Students are required to set up online profiles with DESE. If you already have an account with DESE, do not create another one or modify the existing account. Please follow the instructions at through the fourth paragraph (creating a profile). A Cleared or Not Cleared status will appear in the DESE profile and will be visible to Dea Bermudez. Dea will initiate a petition process for any School Counseling emphasis students who have a Not Cleared status. If the petition process does not produce a Cleared status by DESE, the student will not be eligible for the substitute teaching certificate, may not be eligible to complete practicum and internship experiences at school sites (individual schools or school districts make this decision), and may not be able to complete course requirements for the MA or EdS in Counseling and Guidance program School Counseling emphasis. If a School Counseling student is Not Cleared after the petition process, Dea will notify the student s program faculty who will communicate with the student. If, within the last twelve months, a student has completed a DESE background check for employment purposes, the student may submit a copy of that background check for division records. If there are no issues with the background check, it will fulfill the background check requirement. b. MA and EdS in Counseling and Guidance program Non-School Counseling emphasis students and PhD in Counseling Psychology students must complete a Missouri background check before submitting an application for their first practicum experience. Program faculty will review student background check results, and the student will be notified if any additional steps are required or if the student will be unable to complete the program course requirements. Sites outside of CCAS may require students to complete FBI background checks and/or background checks for other states. i.

10 Student Background Check Requirement & Release of Information Students in the UMKC School of Education s Counseling and Educational Psychology Division are required to obtain and provide verification of a current criminal background check as a condition of participating in any clinical experience in the Counseling Psychology or Counseling & Guidance programs at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, including practica at Community Counseling and Assessment Services. Verification must be provided prior to the student's assignment at an affiliated school or institution. By signing this document, I give the UMKC School of Education s Counseling and Educational Psychology Division permission to release any information requested by the School of Education faculty and/or to the agency in which I may have practicum or internship experiences. This information may include but is not limited to my name, social security number, telephone number, and disclosure of results from background checks. Additional information may be released as requested by agencies. The school or agency maintains the right to deny a student to participate in a clinical experience if the student refuses to release the results of the background check, or if a background check reveals a conviction related to the items listed below. In such cases, the inability to place a student in a clinical setting would prevent the student from completing the program. Failure on the part of a student to submit to a criminal background check will delay progression or render the student unable to complete the professional degree program. The Counseling and Educational Psychology Division faculty may review information received from a student s background check at any time. If the faculty decides that an offense found in the background check is problematic (e.g., relevant to professional and ethical standards and the conditions described in the paragraph following) the faculty may take action. Such actions could include (a) asking the student for an explanation of the offense and actions taken to remediate; (b) delay in beginning practicum; or (c) in extreme cases, termination from the program (e.g., when the offense is particularly serious and relevant to clinical activity, or when as a result a student seems unlikely to secure practicum placement, internship, or eventual licensure). The Missouri Revised Statutes Section outlines grounds for refusal to issue or renew a license for professional counselors. Observing these guidelines, the Counseling Psychology and Counseling & Guidance programs at UMKC advise students that clinical experiences may not be made available if they are convicted of, or have entered a plea of guilty or nolo contendere under the laws of any state or the United States to: Any offense reasonably related to the qualifications, functions, or duties of a professional counselor/psychologist. Any offense of which an essential element is fraud, dishonesty, or an act of violence. Any offense involving moral turpitude, whether or not sentence is imposed. I have read and understand the UMKC Counseling and Educational Psychology Division background check requirement and do agree to the release of information as stated above.
