CREDIT CHECKS FOR PURCHASING CARDS

Effective July 1, 2008, criminal background investigations and credit checks are required for all new cardholders. If an employee has a criminal background and credit check completed by the Office of Human Resources and Employee Relations at time of hire, then further investigation may not be required at the time the card is issued.

Existing Cardholders as of July 1, 2008

Criminal background investigations will be conducted prior to each cardholder's renewal date (currently every two years). To simplify this process, Georgia College will conduct a criminal background investigation on all existing cardholders prior to November 30, 2008. Per policy, GC will conduct another criminal background investigation every two years thereafter.
