NOTE: If the package is set up as School pay, the payment section will not be available. 

7. Once you submit the application, you will see this confirmation on the screen. Please print this page for your records since you will not receive any other confirmation email from Universal

8. Once the student selects a clinic and clicks next, the student receives an email from Universal

9. This email will contain the clinic address, hours and a Bar code. The student needs to present this Bar Code at the clinic. (paper or mobile)

10. Once you apply, the document status will continue to show ‘In progress’ but the Universal status will now show as “In process”

11. Once the results have been received and automatically uploaded in Exxat, the document status will show ‘Pending Review’ and Universal status will be seen as “Complete”

12. Once your document has been reviewed, the document status will change to ‘Approved’ and Universal status will remain as ‘ Complete’. To request an additional screening, click “Add New Record” button and follow the same steps that you did to request your first screening.

Notes: Once you submit your application, you have to go to the lab to submit a sample. After you submit your sample, it will take up to 2 weeks for your results to be received and uploaded to Exxat.

If it has been over 2 weeks please email ExxatCS@universalbackground.com

13. If the universal screening status of the background check is ‘Invitation sent or Pending student information’, you will be able to request Universal-Drug screening only after your background check displays ‘In process’ universal screening status.
