Faculty

The first step is to complete your background check. Typically between 1-3 business days that your offer letter is signed you will receive an email from our university's background check vendor, InfoMart with instructions on how to submit your background check.

All faculty hired at NC State University will also undergo a verification of their education credentials as part of the background check processing.

Note: If you are employee that does not need employment sponsorship you may skip this step

ECE Human Resources initiates all nonimmigrant status requests (H-1B, TN, E-3, O-1) with our university's International Employment Office for employees requiring employment sponsorship. The system used to collect information is called GlobalHome. If you need employment sponsorship, please contact us along with your Date of Birth so that we can assist with establishing a GlobalHome profile: ece-humanresources@ncsu.edu

While we are processing your background check, we encourage you to check out the information on our university's onboarding employee resource page.

Once your hire action is fully approved in our system, you be able to setup your official onboarding appointment with the University Onboarding Center and you will also receive information on setting up your NC State University Unity account.
