USF conducts background checks on all new interns. All candidates for full-time and part-time assignments with the University must authorize a lawful background check as part of the application packet. An offer of employment is contingent on verifying the accuracy of the information provided by the candidate, and the background check results will determine suitability for employment at the University.
