What types of background checks are conducted?
Criminal history checks – including NC statewide, nationwide federal and nationwide sex offender checks – are conducted for all candidates. Motor vehicle-related convictions (such as DWI convictions) appear on these records. Checks are also conducted in other states or countries of residence. Driving records checks – motor vehicle checks (e.g. to verify a valid driver’s license and review driving history) are conducted for positions that require the candidate to drive a state vehicle as a regular part of their job or when a dedicated vehicle is provided to the employee for the purpose of conducting University business.
