The University of California, Santa Barbara strives to provide the safest possible work environment; to protect key organizational assets such as people, property, and personal or other sensitive information; and to enable hiring authorities to make prudent employment decisions for career, limited appointment, contract, and student employee positions designated as critical based upon more comprehensive job-related information as consistent with Systemwide Personnel Policies for Staff Members - Policy 21.E: Background Checks.
To support these efforts and to minimize risk to the University, a criminal history background check is required if you have accepted an offer of employment for a critical position. Another background check will be required if you are an existing or prior non-represented employee, have accepted an offer of employment for another critical position and if it has been more than six months since your last background check. Your background check will be conducted by third-party vendor Universal Background Screening (our campus standard) unless a DOJ/FBI Live Scan is required (for select positions only). An offer of employment is contingent upon completion of a satisfactory criminal history background check as required.
The University is committed to providing a safe and secure campus environment for our students, faculty, staff, and visitors. In accordance with the "Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act" (Clery Act), UCSB publishes an Annual Security and Fire Safety Report to provide information regarding campus safety and security policies, crime statistics, and resources to current and prospective students and employees. This report includes statistics for the previous three calendar years concerning crimes reported to Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) that occurred on campus, in certain off-campus (non-campus) buildings or property, and on public property adjacent to and accessible from campus; as well as statistics for the same three calendar years of fires that occurred in UCSB on-campus student housing facilities. The report also includes campus policies concerning crime prevention, crime reporting, emergency response and evacuation procedures, alcohol and drug use, sexual and interpersonal violence, fire safety, student discipline, and other matters. To access the Annual Security and Fire Safety Report, visit www.police.ucsb.edu/asfsr. A copy of this report may also be requested by contacting the UCSB Police Department (call 805-893-3446 or visit 574 Public Safety Bldg., Santa Barbara, CA 93106 during business hours).
