HR Background Check

Click on Request Service to submit a background check and/or motor vehicle record search request.

This service should be used to request background checks and/or motor vehicle record searches for the following:

• Graduate Assistantships (GA/TA/RA)
• Volunteers
• Rechecks/Annual Requirements for Youth Programs (every 3 years) or Youth Skills Camps (annual) for current employees
• Motor Vehicle Searches for required current employees (every 3 years) and students (annual)

Background checks for hires processed through PeopleAdmin and TeamDynamix (Adjunct Staff, Adjunct Faculty and Students) do not require a separate background check request ticket.   Requests submitted for these hires will be cancelled as they are automatically initiated by HR during the hiring process. 

Once submitted, requests are routed to HR for approval. Accepted requests are then submitted electronically to the background check vendor, HireRight. The individual will receive an email from HireRight describing how to access their website to provide the information necessary for the background check to be processed. Background checks take an average of 10 business days to be completed from the time the applicant submits their information to HireRight.
