Security Sensitive Screening/Background Check Process
The Classification and Compensation Office coordinates the criminal history background check with the hiring unit. A check will be conducted on all applicants who are finalists for a security sensitive postion; which includes staff, graduate students, undergraduate student workers and temporary employees. The check will be done prior to an offer of employment. A search will also be processed on all current employees who transfer to a different position, are promoted or whose position is reclassified. A backgroud check may be conducted on current employees, when necessary. Positions may be designated as security sensitive if the position's duties include handling currency, having access to sensitive information and computerized databases, having access to a master key, working in an area that has been designated as a security sensitive area and/or as may be provided by federal or state law.
