WP/Forms/Employment Application/ 4 9/28/2015
Certification
I certify that any and all statements, which I have set forth in this application, are true and correct to the best of my
knowledge. I also recognize that any omissions or false information provided herein may disqualify me as an
applicant and subject me to discharge in the event that I am hired.
Certification
I understand COCC employs only individuals who are lawfully eligible to work in the United States and that
employment eligibility will be verified upon employment. If I do not currently have permanent eligibility to work in the
U.S., I understand that it is my responsibility to obtain and/or maintain eligibility to work and that loss of eligibility to
work at any future date will invalidate my employment status and result in immediate separation from employment
without recourse or appeal.
I understand that COCC requires a criminal history check for this position, and if an offer of employment is made, this
will be contingent upon satisfactory completion of the criminal background check. I understand that background check
results are evaluated on a case-by-case basis alongside the job responsibilities, and that in selected circumstances,
felony convictions as related to the duties and responsibilities of a given position may influence consideration for
employment.
I understand that any falsification, misrepresentation, or material omission in my application materials (including this
certification) or making other false or fraudulent representations in securing employment may be grounds for
disqualification of my candidacy or (if discovered after the date of hire) invalidation of any employment status, without
recourse or appeal. My acknowledgment below authorizes COCC to conduct an inquiry into any information related to
my potential or continued employment with COCC, and I authorize the release of such information to COCC including
but not limited to, contacting references; verifying all of my application materials; obtaining prior education records
including degrees obtained; prior employment records including positions held, any disciplinary actions and reasons
for termination; driving record information, and obtaining information pertaining to convictions (including guilty or no
contest pleas). I agree that facsimiles or photocopies of this authorization shall be deemed as valid as the original. I
further release COCC and any of its agents from any liability whatsoever in requesting this information and using such
information for employment purposes.
I authorize COCC to check my references and to investigate any information provided in my application for
employment.
I also consent to any post-offer, pre-employment criminal history check when requested by the
College. I further authorize my past employers or anyone with information about my work history, education or
qualifications to provide such information to COCC in response to their inquiry.
I certify that I have read and agree with these statements. □
