Employment Background Checks

Employment at Calvin College is contingent upon a background check, which is required for all staff members. If the background check reveals a conviction or misconduct relevant to the position, or if an individual refuses to give consent for a background check, the individual may be disqualified from holding the position.

The college recognizes the need to conduct background checks on staff members while protecting the privacy of staff members. College policy as well as state and federal laws recognizes the individual's right to privacy and prohibits college staff members from unauthorized use or disclosure of personal information.
