Harper College will be closed Wednesday, November 27 through Sunday, December 1 for Thanksgiving Break.
Criminal Records Checks are processed by the Harper College Police for students in various classes or programs.
To obtain a background check, please come to the police department with two forms of ID. One (1) ID must be a photo government issued ID: Driver’s License, State ID, Passport. The other ID must be something else with your name: Credit Card, Student ID, etc. When you arrive with your IDs, we will direct you to complete a form and pay a fee of $20 online through a provided QR code.
If fingerprints are needed, you will be contacted directly by the Harper College Police after your waiver is submitted.
In the event you had a criminal records check by another employer recently, it is at the discretion of your Program Director to use this. The Harper College Police only handles criminal records checks that are processed by the department.
