ATTENTION: The UH Working With Minors on Campus background check and fingerprinting requirement is a separate process from the criminal background check (Certiphi Screening Inc.) that was completed by all accepted applicants at time of admission. Students planning to start matriculation for the Fall 2024 semester must complete this additional background check.
Deadline to Complete Background Checks with Fingerprinting: Sunday, July 21, 2024

Phone: (808) 692-0920
JABSOM requires all incoming and enrolled students to undergo a criminal background check and fingerprinting per the University of Hawaiʻi Working with Minors on Campus Policy. No information obtained by JABSOM from a criminal background check will automatically disqualify a conditionally accepted applicant from obtaining full admission. However, omission of required information or submitting false or misleading information by the applicant in the AMCAS and/or in any communication with JABSOM or the agencies conducting the criminal background check will result in rescission of conditional acceptance.
Campus Background Check and Fingerprinting process:
For any questions or concerns, please email Nancy Ho at nho1@hawaii.edu.
