Report Delivery Manager

Report Delivery Manager (RDM) allows students to distribute an electronic copy of your background check and drug screen results to a third party for clinical rotations.  RDM can be found in Application Station: Student Edition.  Reports are available to students for 36 months.  If reports are needed beyond 36 months, students must print a copy to be distributed as needed.

  1. Click the link below or paste it into your browser: http://applicationstation.truescreen.com
  2. To access the Report Delivery Manager, choose the “Returning user login” option on the right side of the home page and click “Log in.”
  3. Enter the username and password created at the time of submitting your background investigation and/or drug screen.
  4. Click “View Report Delivery Manager” at the bottom of the ApplicationStation code for the program/application you need to deliver.  This can be found after you completely log in and provide your ApplicationStation code.
  5. A new screen will appear. To authorize a new third party to view a background check, click “Create a New Delivery.” 
  6. Read the “Important Notice”, type your name and click “Agree.”
  7. Supply the third party’s contact information: Last Name, First Name and Organization.  Report Access Keys are generated, including an ApplicationStation Code and Access PIN. 

Truescreen recommends that the student contact the third party and provide the ApplicationStation website address, code and PIN to their contact verbally. This method provides the highest level of security. However, the student can also authorize that an e-mail containing this information be sent to the contact at the clinical facility. 

The system provides confirmation that an e-mail has been sent, along with the ApplicationStation Code and Access PIN for future reference.

If the initial drug screen is reported as positive/non-negative, you will receive a call from Truescreen’s Medical Review Officer (MRO).  The MRO will obtain medical proof as to why you test positive.  If you are taking any form of prescription medicine, it is wise to proactively obtain proof from your physician to be provided to the MRO when contacted.  This will speed up the process of reporting drug test results. 

All drug screens conducted for Austin Peay State University are 10-panel + Alcohol and tests for:

  • Amphetamines
  • Barbiturates
  • Benzodiazepines
  • Cannabinoids
  • Cocaine
  • Methaqualone
  • Methadone
  • Opiates
  • Phencyclidine
  • Propoxyphene
  • Alcohol

You will receive an email from Truescreen, studentedition@truescreen.com, once drug test results are available. Follow the link in the email to access Application Station: Student Edition to view the report. 

The cost of the Drug Screen is $34.00.  Truescreen accepts credit cards and PayPal.  Payment is collected within ApplicationStation: Student Edition. 

If the student receives a “REVIEW” (red X) on the background investigation, the Program Director will communicate this information to the Clinical Education Director at the respective clinical facility.  The Clinical Education Director will then determine if the student can enter clinical rotations.  The student is to schedule an appointment with the Clinical Education Director at the appropriate facility. During the scheduled appointment, the student will provide the original background check documentation to the Director of Clinical Education for verification and review. The Director of Clinical Education will review the conviction record and determine “clearing/not clearing” of the student based on approved criteria.
