Sorry, Osiris, I forgot to mention that I have to pay $50 (nonrefundable) for the privilege. It seemed to me that if I'm paying for it, they must be checking into my background and not just keeping it on file.
I have no criminal record, and I can't imagine that the FBI would have a file on li'l' ol' me. I was thinking maybe it's a "hit/no hit" kind of deal.
Thanks for the link, Keroppi. It made me dig a little deeper at the new college. Originally, I only found a statement that temporary workers have to be fingerprinted; after I saw all of the info on that link you provided, I figured that there must be more information somewhere on my college's site. I found it. There's a statement indicating that if the fingerprinting turns up "a conviction history" that would prohibit them from hiring me, then I cannot be hired. That's all it says.
Hermione, I completely forgot that I ever had another name. But the prof who is hiring me will not be privy to that information--only HR. Unless somebody mouths off. Ugh, now I have a new thing to worry about.
I won't be quite relaxed till I successfully jump through these hoops. And I hope to god nobody looks me up on Rate My Professors because in the older reviews, most of the students refer to me as "she." One goes so far as to ASSURE any readers that I am INDEED female, a statement that I thought was terribly obnoxious.
Oh, well, I'll know one way or the other before the end of the month.
