NOTIFICATION LETTER TEMPLATE:
USE
FOR OUTSIDE APPLICANTS UNDER CONSIDERATION FOR HIRE
(HIRE WILL BE PROVISIONAL UNTIL CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK CLEARS)
Dear ______________________:
This is to confirm that the offer of employment extended to you
as the final candidate for the ______________________ position in
the ______________________ department is conditional on successful
completion of a criminal background check.
A combined Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) background check will be initiated by the University of California Police Department (UCPD). UCPD typically receives results of the DOJ check in three to seven days, and FBI information in approximately 30 days.
If the check reveals no criminal convictions relevant to the position, UCPD will inform this department that you have been cleared for employment in the position. If the check reveals a criminal conviction, UCPD will forward the information to the Criminal Background Check Review Committee, who will make final determinations regarding your suitability for this position. UCPD will provide you with a summary of your criminal background check results, regardless of the outcome, and inform you when a conviction disqualifies you from employment in a sensitive position.
Only criminal convictions will be considered in determining your suitability for employment. Falsifying information submitted on University application materials may be cause for non-selection.
