All final applicants and current employees seeking a promotional opportunity must consent to background check in order to be considered for any position. Applicants who fail to provide the data and consent will not be considered for employment or promotion. Background investigations always include review of criminal and sex offender records and may, for designated positions, require investigation of any or all of the following: motor vehicle, civil or financial/credit records. 

Annual Safety and Security Report & Fire Safety Report
The university's Annual Safety and Security Report & Fire Safety Report is available online. This federally mandated report includes a summary of the university's security policy statements, campus crime and fire statistics for the previous three years, responsibilities to report, campus safety and crime prevention programs, emergency notification systems and processes, and other safety information. This report is available at http://www.uccs.edu/asr/index.html. The university will provide a paper copy of this report upon request. To request a paper copy, send your request to police@uccs.edu or call police dispatch at (719) 255-3111. 

E-Verify Program
The University of Colorado is a Federal Contract E-Verify employer, but only employees hired into a position funded by a Federal Contract with the FAR E-Verify clause will be verified in the E-Verify program. In that case, we will provide the Social Security Administration (SSA) and, if necessary, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with information from each new employee's Form I-9 to confirm work authorization. 

For purposes of employment using F-1 STEM OPT employment authorization through Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), however, the University is NOT considered an E-Verify employer since not all new University employees are being verified through the E-Verify program.
