The University of California, Irvine (UCI) seeks to provide a safe and healthy environment for the entire UCI community. As part of this commitment, all applicants who accept an offer of employment must comply with the following conditions of employment. Click on the selected topic to advance to that section.
Background Check & Live Scan
A pre-employment check of a candidate's background serves as an important part of the selection process and is conducted to promote a safe work environment; protect key organizational assets such as people, property, and information; and enables the hiring authority to make prudent hiring decisions based upon more comprehensive job-related information.
The categories of background checks include, but are not limited to:
Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting
The University of California complies with its obligations under The California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act (“CANRA”) that requires employers of Mandated Reporters (as defined in the Act) to promote identification and reporting of child abuse and neglect to child protection or law enforcement agencies and encourage all members of the University community who observe, have actual knowledge of, or reasonably suspect child abuse or neglect at a University facility or perpetrated by University personnel to promptly report the concern to appropriate external and University officials.

E-Verify
For positions funded by federal contracts/subcontracts, the University is required to notify applicants that an E-Verify check will be conducted, and the successful candidate must pass the E-Verify check.
E-Verify is an internet-based system that compares information from your Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, to U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Social Security Administration (SSA) records to confirm that individuals are authorized to work in the United States.

Pre-Placement Health Evaluation
In addition to the background check and Live Scan, all applicants who have accepted a job offer with UCI Health or select roles with Campus are required to complete and successfully pass the pre-placement health requirements that have been identified as appropriate for the position.
These policies describe requirements for immunizations and other health protocols to protect the safety and welfare of students, faculty and staff, and our communities. This may include vaccinations or other precautionary safety measures. Provisions exist to accommodate requests for exceptions due to medical or deeply held religious beliefs.
Flu Vaccination
The University of California annually issues a systemwide executive order requiring all covered students, faculty, other academic appointees and staff to get vaccinated against influenza or opt out using a form supplied by their location after receiving information about the flu vaccine. Those who do not receive the flu vaccine will be required to wear masks (face coverings) at all UCI Health locations through the end of the flu season.
