On Feb. 6, 2013, the Graduate Council approved a policy requiring background checks for all new graduate student employees.
The Graduate School requires that all graduate student employees (including hourly paid) have an approved consumer report and/or investigative consumer report (background check) as a condition for appointment. The information contained in these reports may be used to deny an individual employment or continued employment with Auburn University. The background report and its contents are deemed private and confidential and shall be disclosed only for the purposes described in “Procedures for Securing Background Reports for Graduate Students Before Hiring” to those University employees who have a need to know, or as otherwise required or permitted by law. This policy is effective for all graduate student employees whose new appointments begin on or after January 1, 2014.
Authorized users may check on the completion status of background checks in Self-Service Banner under the Employee Services tab, by following the link labeled “Employee Record Verification.”
