7 Criminal Background Check Form Page 1 of 7 Created: October 23, 2012 Updated: June 3, 2015 Document can be printed double-sided to save paper. Draft 11 EM 150 The University of Texas at Austin has an obligation to provide a safe environment for all members of the UT Austin community and to protect the property of UT Austin. For these reasons, all job applicants must provide and certify any requirement to register as a sex offender and their complete adult criminal conviction record. This includes any conviction and/or deferred adjudication where the final disposition is still pending (i.e. the original charge has not been judicially dismissed) from the age of 17 until now. Before an applicant is referred to or hired for a specific job vacancy, the severity, time since conviction, and direct job relatedness of his or her conviction(s) are compared to the functions of the vacant position. Based on that review, an applicant may not be referred, or hired. However, a criminal conviction does not necessarily disqualify an individual from being hired.
