Background Check Guidance

UC Policy requires background checks for new hires and transfers into all critical positions. Therefore, background checks are required for ALL staff and student positions.

Locally, we use LiveScan for criminal background checks for all in-state applicants. Departments may also use Consumer Reports for student positions, unless the role specifically requires LiveScan, or other exceptional factors.

Individuals are not allowed to start their new position until all applicable background clearances are received. 

The Student Employment Office recommends departments include the following language in their postings on Handshake under the Special Conditions of Employment section: 

Please note a pre-employment background check is required for all student employment positions.
