Human Resources to continue performing registry checks for student hires past Oct. 1

The sex and violent offender registry check process for both undergraduate and graduate student positions will continue to be handled by Human Resources past the previously communicated deadline of Oct. 1.

Previously, a process change was announced with an effective date of Aug. 14, which was then shifted to Oct. 1 after departments requested additional preparation time. While a team works with business offices on formalizing the new process, Human Resources will continue to conduct the registry checks.

In the interim, it is critically important to remind new student hires they will receive an additional automated email from HireRight to gather the necessary information. This step is outlined in the Student Hire (Undergrad and Grad) Sex and Violent Offender Registry Check.

If students do not follow through with this step, departments will be out of compliance with the background check policy and Human Resources will be required to undertake extensive manual processes to reinitiate sex and violent offender registry checks.
