Selective Service

Males

Male applicants who have been recommended for hire cannot begin employment with the University until they have satisfied the conditions of federal and state law. All newly-hired males must complete the Selective Service requirement in Workday. New employees will receive an inbox task in Workday to enter Selective Service status. Current employees can update this through the Personal Information app in Workday. (See the job aid for detailed instructions.) Failing to meet this requirement will result in termination.

Males age 26 and older who are not registered with the U.S. Selective Service will not be considered for University positions unless:

• The requirement for the person to so register has terminated or become inapplicable to the person and
• The person shows by a preponderance of the evidence that the failure of the person to register was not a knowing and willful failure to register.

Non-citizens

Some non-citizens are required to register and others are not. Non-citizens who are not required to register with Selective Service include the following:

• Men who are in the U.S. on student or visitor visas
• Men who are part of a diplomatic or trade mission
• Family members of the individuals above

Almost all other male non-citizens are required to register, including illegal aliens, legal permanent residents, and refugees. The general rule is that if a male non-citizen takes up residency in the U.S. before his 26th birthday, he must register with Selective Service.

Under Age 18

All male employees who begin work under the age of 18 are not required to register with Selective Service. However, they will have 30 days to register with Selective Service once they reach their 18th birthdays.

Dual Nationals

Dual nationals of the U.S. and another country are required to register, regardless of where they live, because they are U.S. nationals.
