Camp directors must ensure all designated individuals who will work with campers during the program undergo a criminal background check conducted each year of the program. The check must be conducted and successfully cleared prior to the start of the program.
To determine the appropriate type of background check, refer to Human Resources reference chart at: http://www.utexas.edu/hr/manager/hiring/background_check.html
The program will use the following sources in conducting a background check:
- Texas DPS Crime Records Service – Secure or Public Site
- a sex offender registration check
- an appropriate out-of-state check
- an international check for any foreign national who the camp director has reason to believe lived outside the U.S. after the age of 14 unless the person’s visa issuance or renewal occurred after implementation of the U.S. Patriot Act on October 24, 2011. (Reasonable efforts will be used to obtain such a check and it need only be conducted initially if the individual does not live outside the U.S. during the year.)
