BACKGROUND CHECK RELEASE FORM Please read the following statements carefully.

Criminal History Check Procedures

Effective Fall 2011 semester, each Trinity Valley Community College prospective housing student must complete the

Trinity Valley Community College Release of Background Information form as part of the Housing Application process.

The Housing Application becomes valid when the complete application (both parts) is submitted with the deposit

fee ($200), a copy of the applicant’s driver’s license or State Identification card and the non-refundable $25

processing fee. An incomplete Release of Background Information form will void the Trinity Valley Community

College Housing application.

Upon receipt of the Housing Application with the completed Release of Background Information form and the non-

refundable $25 processing fee, the Housing Office will forward the Release of Background Information form to an

outside vendor to determine the background of the student requesting permission to reside in campus housing.

At the time the vendor receives a Release of Background Information form, the vendor will complete the request and

document the findings. The findings of this inquiry will be evaluated using the Trinity Valley Community College

Housing Criminal History Standards. If the inquiry results in a negative report (“No Record”) the Trinity Valley

Community College Housing Office will complete the Housing Office Criminal History Record form and declare the

applicant is “eligible” for consideration for campus housing.

If the Criminal History Check return reports that the applicant has a Criminal History or has been arrested and the

charges are pending, the information will then be evaluated according to the Trinity Valley Community College Housing

Criminal History Standards. If the applicant does not meet the standards, a declaration of “not eligible” will be made.

The applicant who does not meet the standards will be notified by mail that he/she will not be entered on the waiting list

for Campus Housing at this time. The student can contact the Housing Office for information regarding the reasons for

not being approved. The procedures for refund of the housing deposit and the appeal process will be explained in the

letter.

Each applicant who fails to meet the Trinity Valley Community College Housing Criminal History Standards and has

been deemed “not eligible” may contest or review the declaration of “not eligible” by using the following procedures:

Within three working days of receipt of the “not eligible” letter, the prospective applicant will contact the

Housing Office and schedule a time for review of the information.

The applicant must bring the letter stating that he/she has been declared “not eligible”.

The applicant will be required to bring copies of all certified judicial court decrees that negate the validity of the

criminal charge(s) and their dismissal or that otherwise show that the applicant meets the Criminal History

Standards.

A Housing Office Review Team will consider all pertinent information provided. If the charges are shown to be

“invalid”, the Housing Office Review Team shall re-submit a declaration of “eligible” to the Trinity Valley

Community College Housing Office.

Copies of all documents or records that are submitted during the review will be placed on file. All record inquiries and

submitted documents shall be considered confidential and will not be released unless required by law. After review, if

the applicant’s record submitted to the Housing Office is changed to “eligible”, the Housing Office will verify that the

housing deposit has not been refunded. The Housing applicant’s name will be entered on the waiting list for room

assignment. If the housing deposit has been refunded, the deposit must be re-submitted to the Housing Office before the

applicant will be added to the waiting list.

A Summary of Your Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act

The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) promotes the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of information in the files of consumer reporting agencies. There are many types of consumer reporting agencies, including credit bureaus and specialty agencies (such as agencies that sell information about check writing histories, medical records, and rental history records). Here is a summary of your major rights under the FCRA. For more information, including information about additional rights, go to www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore or write to: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 1700 G Street N.W., Washington, DC 20006.

• You must be told if information in your file has been used against you. Anyone who uses a credit report or another type of consumer report to deny your application for credit, insurance, or employment – or to take another adverse action against you – must tell you, and must give you the name, address, and phone number of the agency that provided the information. • You have the right to know what is in your file. You may request and obtain all the information about you in the files of a consumer reporting agency (your “file disclosure”). You will be required to provide proper identification, which may include your Social Security number. In many cases, the disclosure will be free. You are entitled to a free file disclosure if:

• a person has taken adverse action against you because of information in your credit report;

• you are the victim of identify theft and place a fraud alert in your file; • your file contains inaccurate information as a result of fraud; • you are on public assistance; • you are unemployed but expect to apply for employment within 60 days.

In addition, all consumers are entitled to one free disclosure every 12 months upon request from each nationwide credit bureau and from nationwide specialty consumer reporting agencies. See www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore for additional information. • You have the right to ask for a credit score. Credit scores are numerical summaries of your credit-worthiness based on information from credit bureaus. You may request a credit score from consumer reporting agencies that create scores or distribute scores used in residential real property loans, but you will have to pay for it. In some mortgage transactions, you will receive credit score information for free from the mortgage lender. • You have the right to dispute incomplete or inaccurate information. If you identify information in your file that is incomplete or inaccurate, and report it to the consumer reporting agency, the agency must investigate unless your dispute is frivolous. See www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore for an explanation of dispute procedures. • Consumer reporting agencies must correct or delete inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information. Inaccurate, incomplete or unverifiable information must be removed or corrected, usually within 30 days. However, a consumer reporting agency may continue to report information it has verified as accurate. • Consumer reporting agencies may not report outdated negative information. In most cases, a consumer reporting agency may not report negative information that is more than seven years old, or bankruptcies that are more than 10 years old. • Access to your file is limited. A consumer reporting agency may provide information about you only to people with a valid need – usually to consider an application with a creditor, insurer, employer, landlord, or other business. The FCRA specifies those with a valid need for access. • You must give your consent for reports to be provided to employers. A consumer reporting agency may not give out information about you to your employer, or a potential employer, without your written consent given to the employer. Written consent generally is not required in the trucking industry. For more information, go to www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore. • You may limit “prescreened” offers of credit and insurance you get based on information in your credit report. Unsolicited “prescreened” offers for credit and insurance must include a toll-free phone number you can call if you choose to remove your name and address from the lists these offers are based on. You may opt-out with the nationwide credit bureaus at 1-888-567-8688. • You may seek damages from violators. If a consumer reporting agency, or, in some cases, a user of consumer reports or a furnisher of information to a consumer reporting agency violates the FCRA, you may be able to sue in state or federal court. • Identity theft victims and active duty military personnel have additional rights. For more information, visit www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore.

BACKGROUND CHECK RELEASE FORM Please read the following statements carefully.

States may enforce the FCRA, and many states have their own consumer reporting laws. In some cases, you may have more rights under state law. For more information, contact your state or local consumer protection agency or your state Attorney General. For information about your federal rights, contact:

How many residence halls are on campus?

There are 5 residence halls on campus. West and South Halls are for females. Northeast and Northwest Halls are for males.

non-refundable background check fee), and have a current (within the last 5 years) meningitis vaccine record on file. Each of

these items must be received by the Housing Office before a reservation is official.

Is my deposit refundable? Yes, but only the $200 room deposit. The $200 room deposit will be mailed when the student indicates that he or she is not

returning to the residence hall. The deposit is refundable if a student cancels by the cancellation deadline. If a student moves

off campus and remains enrolled, or moves before the end of the semester, the deposit if forfeited. If the student owes TVCC

any money for any reason, the amount owed will be deducted from the deposit.

What's in my room? Rooms contain two beds, two desks, two chairs, two dressers, closet, wireless access, extended basic cable (television needs to

be equipped with a digital tuner to receive all channels)

Can I request a roommate? Room and roommate assignments are done by the Housing Manager when you move in. Let the Housing Manager know who

you want for your roommate when you check-in, and if space is available, you may be accommodated.

No. Room costs are based on double occupancy, therefore, single rooms are not offered.

decals are $5.00 each.

Do I have a curfew at night?

No. As an adult in college, you are responsible for your actions, but our residence halls close at 11:00 pm for visitors. It is a
