This change does not apply to new hire background checks for faculty and staff, which are still handled by HR.

On Aug. 19, ACU’s campus will welcome our freshman class and move in more than 900 students.

We rely on our Wildcat Week student leaders and campus community to partner with Residence Life to unload approximately 1,700 vehicles. It’s an incredible day and one that unites our campus around the effort and excitement of starting a new academic year. All move-in help is needed and appreciated.

Benefits Tip: Paid Parental Leave

by   |  07.14.25  |  Announcements

ACU will award six weeks of paid leave for the birth or adoption of a child for both the mother and father. Employees will have one year to use their parental leave, which can be taken intermittently. (Parental leave will run concurrently with FMLA.) Employees who foresee taking parental leave should complete the parental leave application as soon as possible.
