Hi,

I received an ACD in December in NY. Since this doesn't count as a conviction I answered no to any convictions. My case is pending until June at which time my case will be sealed. I have already interviewed and may get accepted soon. Is there any way I can delay the background check till June when my case is sealed?

Thanks

No. If you've already been accepted, they require you to give permission to Certiphi when they email you. Which will happen well before June.

I haven't been accepted yet but think I will know in a week or two. Maybe I can say I want to complete the background check after I get my Spring 2018 grades?

Also what information is asked during the background check?

Grades have no bearing on a background check. That will look super fishy.

They ask you your name, SSN, and addresses. And then they run various checks on you.

Also, just a note, an ACD is usually not considered "guilty", and so it shouldn't have an impact on you. I think it would be worse to try to get out of it, than to do the check and have a small blip that means nothing.

A pending case does not look bad? It is an ACD but it will show up because it is pending. I don't want to not be accepted because of this.

Innocent until proven guilty? A pending case doesn't mean you did it. You also haven't given any specifics of what the charges are. PM me if you want to talk more.
