PXU recognizes the important role that volunteers can play in the education of students.  The volunteer clearance process was developed to ensure that volunteers are able to contribute to our students’ educational experience.  However, for the safety and protection of students, staff, and our volunteers, the clearance process will be completed. Volunteering in PXU is a privilege, not a right.
