Getting Started as a College Student Intern

  • The college or university will assign field experiences, practicums and student teaching through an agreement with St. Lucie Public Schools.
  • Students must be fingerprinted and receive a clearance letter prior to performing any assignments at school sites.
  • Fingerprinting and background checks are a cost to the student in the amount of $49.25 payable on-line when fingerprint appointments are made through Fieldprint. Detailed instructions can be found on the “Fingerprinting-College Students”
  • Students will pay an annual retention fee of $6.00 so that fingerprints remain active throughout the college experience. See detail at the bottom of the “Fingerprinting-College Students” link.

  • School sites will ask to see the Clearance Letter when a college student reports the first day.
