Following the Human Resources office’s receipt of both (1) a candidate’s fully completed application package for a current job opening AND (2) mailed receipt of a candidate’s official transcript(s) directly from the awarding institution, then a candidate can be considered for employment and their application and transcript information shall be submitted to the recruiting manager and/or selection committee for review.
