Notice of Adoption of Interim Background Check and Pre-Employment Screening Policy

At the University of Arizona, new, revised and interim policies are shared with the university community for a 30-day open feedback period as part of the policy-making process.

University policies posted at policy.arizona.edu have university-wide relevance in operational efficiency, risk mitigation, compliance with laws, regulations and Arizona Board of Regents policies, and the delivery of the university’s mission and values.

The Background Check and Pre-Employment Screening Policy (Interim) has been approved on an interim basis and is effective immediately while feedback is collected for the creation of a permanent policy.

The Background Check and Pre-Employment Screening Policy (Interim) is available for review on the University Policies website.

Members of the university community are invited to submit written feedback using the form at the bottom of the policy or by emailing comments to policy@arizona.edu.

The 30-day open feedback period has been extended through the summer. Please submit any comments by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 16.

Feedback will be available to the Institutional Policy and Projects staff and shared with the policy sponsor for review and consideration. Elected shared governance representatives can request access to the feedback for policies impacting the populations they represent.
