Special Instructions for Adjuncts
Employment offers to final candidates in adjunct searches are contingent upon the successful completion of the University’s national and state background check. Since the adjunct hiring process is handled differently than a full, competitive search, the process to meet this requirement is handled in a manner tailored for this group of employees.
When a Department Chair or other hiring official initiates the Truescreen background check, additional information will be sent to the adjunct candidate providing directions on how to complete the state police check.
Please see the University of Mary Washington’s Background Check Policy and Procedures for more information.
In the event that an adjunct candidate does not respond to the request for the state police check form or there is any other delay in the paperwork, the Recruitment Office will work with the Department Chair or Provost (as appropriate) to ensure the necessary checks are completed before the adjunct’s contract start date.
