Policy

The University may require a security clearance of its staff members, as a condition of employment in certain positions. Such clearance may be necessary for incumbents or applicants for employment, if their work requires access to information classified by the Federal Government. The determination of need for security clearance for specific positions or projects will be mutually determined by the University and the responsible Government Agency.

Regulations

1. University staff members holding positions which are determined to require security clearance, and applicants for these positions, will be informed of this regulation prior to any investigation into their background.
2. Pending security clearance, a staff member will not be allowed access to classified information.
