Background Checks and Fingerprinting

The IRC offers electronic fingerprinting and background check services for both federal (FBI) and state (BCI). You may fill out and print the fingerprinting form prior to coming to the IRC to save time if you wish, though a copy will be provided to you upon your arrival at the IRC.

The IRC is accepting cash and online credit card payments () at this time. A 3% fee will be applied to all card purchases. Checks are NOT accepted.

Background check information

A diverse collection of materials are available at the IRC for checkout. These items include headphones, video cameras, books, test kits, manipulatives, DVD's, Chromebooks, projectors, presentation remotes and much more. Registered patrons can view available materials as well as access and manage their own profile on the IRC cataloging website at . 

Black and white printing may be done with a FlashCard via Uniprint in any computer lab (203, 205, 211) and in the IRC (221). If you do not have a FlashCard with money on it, you can add money to your FlashCard online with a credit/debit card or cash. A 3% fee will be applied to all card purchases. You can also add money to your card by inserting cash into a FlashCard machine. The closest machines are in the Business Administration Building and the 91���� Library.

If you do not have money on your FlashCard, you may send documents to IRC staff at ircehhs@kent.edu and pay $0.11 per page (black/white) for us to print documents for you. Color printing is also available in the IRC for $0.43 per page. Just bring the file to the front desk and they will send it to the printer, payable with cash or credit/debit card. 

Color poster printing (36" max on one side) is available in the IRC and must be done via either PowerPoint or PDF.

Poster Printing Instructions

1. We ask that your file is a PowerPoint or PDF document that is appropriately sized. The maximum width for posters is 36”, but it may be as long as needed. We can rotate the poster to print it, but at least one side must be 36 inches or less.
2. To set the dimensions of your PowerPoint, click the “design” tab, and select “slide size” on the right.
3. Select “custom slide size” from the drop down menu.
4. Change the dimensions of the slide. Whatever dimensions you choose will reflect that actual size of the poster. Set the dimensions BEFORE creating the slide’s design, so that the size change will not affect your poster.
5. Create your slide and ensure the sizing and formatting is right, as the IRC will not format any documents.
6. Save the file on a flash drive and bring it into the IRC or email the poster to irc@kent.edu.

If you need any assistance with this process please reach out to the IRC directly at: irc@kent.edu

The IRC sells items for certain ITEC courses. Protocols for tests in the IRC are for sale. Price varies according to the test. All purchases (except for black and white printing/copying, which can be paid for by flashcard) must be paid for via cash or credit/debit card.
