Background Checks and Screening

All Program/Activity Staff, including employees, University students, and volunteers, who will have direct contact with minors must undergo background investigations (including sex offender registry check) in accordance with the Human Resources Administrative Practice Manual (HRAP).

MGA Program/Activity Background Investigation

  1. Background checks must be completed for anyone who will have direct contact with minors in accordance with HRAP Background Investigation requirements, prior to working with minors. This includes all University employees, MGA students and all volunteers that are not employed by the university. These background checks must be completed through MGA’s Human Resources department
  2. Allow at least ten days for background investigations to be completed.

Third Party Program/Activity Background Investigation

Third parties working with minors using MGA facilities must ensure all of their Program/Activity staff, including volunteers, are background checked in compliance with the Minors on Campus Policy. As a condition of utilizing University facilities, third parties are required to certify that they have performed background checks on Program/Activity staff which would, at a minimum, satisfy HRAP requirements.
