Policy Point – Background Check and Self-Reporting

Even after you are hired to work at ACU the Background Check &Self-Reporting policy requires that individuals must disclose to the Office of Human Resources any and all felony or misdemeanor arrests or convictions that occur after the date of hire.  Failure to self-report any arrest or conviction is a terminable offense. This does not include minor traffic offenses (Class C) unless the individual is a Routine Driver under the ACU’s Driver Policy.  The purpose of the policy is to maintain a safe and secure campus environment and protect the university’s financial and physical assets by establishing a formal process for screening, background checks and self-reporting.
