Swearer Center for Public Service

Swearer Center Affiliated Students

Swearer-affiliated students engaging with partner organizations that require a background check and other clearance processes are required to have relevant designated clearances completed prior to their engagement.

Engagement Preparation Days

Each semester, the Swearer Center hosts Engagement Preparation Days for students participating in any of our Swearer-affiliated programs, opportunities and fellowships. If you are in the Brown Tutoring Corps (BTC) or other Swearer-affiliated program, please follow the guidance on this page.

This is an in-person process that takes ~20-30 minutes, and requires you to bring your government-issued ID* (must be original and unexpired).

*Valid IDs are a US State Driver's License or State ID, a US passport or passport card or an international passport that contains English language or has an accompanying English-language visa.
