Criminal Background Authorization and Verification. The University is charged with supporting the academic needs of students by providing programs that support personal growth, development, and student success. Likewise, the University provides facilities that are responsibly maintained and conducive to sleep and study. Of paramount concern in all University initiatives are the health, welfare, and safety of our students who reside in University owned residence halls, and the protection and preservation of their property. As such, the contract will require the resident to undergo a criminal background search. This policy shall apply to, without limitation, any individual requiring to live in a university owned residence hall. Conviction of a crime may not necessarily render the resident ineligible to reside in a university owned residence hall, but the nature of the charges, circumstances, and/or time of the occurrence may be considered in the processing of each application.
Being charged with, a plea of guilty to, a finding of guilty by a referee, jury or court of, or conviction of any of the following may disqualify the resident from residing in a university owned residence hall:
If the resident is charged with an offense described above during contracted dates, the resident is subject to interim suspension from the residence hall until such time as the matter is finally adjudicated or dismissed. Upon a charge of, plea of guilty, a finding of guilty by a referee, jury or court of, or conviction of any such offenses the contract shall be subject to review and/or termination by the University, per the conditions outlined in the contract.
The resident hereby consents to a criminal background search conducted through the Ohio Attorney General’s WebCheck or National WebCheck Program or other method deemed appropriate by the University. The resident authorizes the University to obtain and review criminal records and dispositions as part of the application to reside in a university owned residence hall. The resident understands that before the resident is denied the opportunity to reside in a university owned residence hall on the basis of information received from a criminal background check, the resident may request and will be provided with a copy of the information. The resident must notify the University of any challenges to the accuracy of any information concerning the criminal background check within five business days of receipt of the report. The University will not make a final decision regarding eligibility to reside in a university owned residence hall until the student has had a reasonable opportunity to address the accuracy of the information. The resident hereby consents to a criminal background search being conducted through the Ohio Attorney General’s WebCheck or National WebCheck Program or other method deemed appropriate by the University.
