Credentials Verification

Education and certification credentials are verified shortly after employment begins. Faculty members are therefore required to submit to their respective departments the following credentials:

1.        Current Curriculum Vita

2.        Official transcripts from the last institution where the highest degree was earned.

The State of North Carolina law and the board of governors rules require applicants for employment be honest in representing their credentials and other qualifications when they apply for University employment. The official University policy, Policy Statement #90, “Fraudulent Disclosure or Willful Nondisclosure in Applying for Employment,” can be found at www.legal.uncc.edu/policies/ps-90.html.

Verification of Employment Eligibility. Federal law requires employers to verify the eligibility of each employee to work in the United States, to attest they have seen documentary proof of eligibility, and to maintain records of such attestation. The University is responsible to complete Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) Form-I9 verifying employment eligibility of employees hired after November 6, 1986. Newly hired faculty and staff employees are required to visit the Human Resources Department (222 King, 704-687-2276) and complete the verification form within three days of employment at the University.
