Student Housing Application

All student housing applicants are required to have a background check performed before they can be approved for housing at Glen Oaks Community College (GOCC). The Housing Application becomes valid and the background check is performed when the complete application is submitted with the $75 non-refundable administrative fee. GOCC has partnered with Castle Branch to perform this service to the extent permitted by law.

I authorize the College and its agent, Castle Branch, to compile a report which may include information from a seven (7) year residency history, a County Criminal Search for both felonies and misdemeanors for all counties resided in, the National Criminal Database, and the National Sex Offender registry. I authorize custodians of the records of any agency or company as described above to release such information upon request of any agent of Castle Branch. I understand that any or all of these investigations or inquiries will be performed prior to my acceptance in student housing. I understand that the information requested is for the use by the College and may be re-disclosed only as authorized by law. I understand that I am authorizing GOCC to make inquiries into my personal history. I hereby release all involved in obtaining, providing, and/or utilizing any consumer reports or investigative consumer reports from any and all claims and damages of any kind whatsoever.
