Criminal Background Check (CBC)
All Criminal Background Checks (CBC) will be processed by the Office of People Excellence (OPE).
All applicants will now complete their CBC online, eliminating the need to fax and/or hand deliver CBCs to the Office of People Excellence. The applicant will receive an email link to their personal email address provided to Office of People Excellence. An email will be sent from our CBC vendor, Applicant Insight, on behalf of UTSA. Please remind the applicant to check their junk/spam folder and inform them they have 48 hours to submit the information. Otherwise, it will expire and the request has to be resubmitted.
