All students must apply for fingerprint clearance upon entry into an Education program and have them

processed and documented before Fieldwork Observations.

 Even if you have been fingerprinted elsewhere before,

you must apply to have your fingerprints cleared by OSPRA through your TEACH Account. There are no

exceptions to this requirement.

clicking on “Self-Register” in Step 1 at the following site:

You will need to use your newly created TEACH

1. Log in 2. Click the “TEACH On-Line Services” tab 3. From the menu of options under “Fingerprint Links,” choose:

“Submit Application for Fingerprint Clearance,” and follow the instructions.

4. When the application asks if you have been fingerprinted by NYCBOE and mentions the OSPRA 104 form, check "No" unless you have worked for the Board of Education in New York City.

5. Under “Reason for Fingerprinting” choose “Teacher Certification.” Check “No” for needing fingerprint cards, if you plan to use LiveScan.

 6. Choose the “Credit Card” rather than the “Coupon” payment option.  7. At the end of the application, you will pay the OSPRA processing fee via credit card. When the screen states that your payment has been received (their version of a receipt), copy that page and save it.

2. Apply: Once Your TEACH Account Has Been Created

We offer LiveScan fingerprinting at the University Police Station, call 845-257-2222 to make your

LiveScan appointment with them. You must bring proof of your fingerprint application

from your TEACH Account along with a $20.00 processing fee in cash to UP. Here’s how to bring

proof: 

1. Log into your TEACH Account, go to "Account Information"

2. Then highlight "Fingerprinting" in the blue box 3. Then click on "GO" and print the page.

 *If you have been fingerprinted before, then give

OSPRA 48 hours to locate them in the system. If they are not found, you will need to get new prints done

again.
