When should the Criminal Background Check (CBC) process be initiated?
The CBC should be initiated when, through the normal hiring process, a finalist for a security sensitive position is identified. Before extending an offer, the department and the finalist must complete the CBC request form. The form is sent to the UTSA Police; they complete the investigation and notify the hiring official or the Vice President of the results. Only after the results are reviewed and a hiring decision is made can an offer be extended to the individual.
