If you have questions about reporting convictions or the criminal history or motor vehicle history check process, please contact the Office of Human Resources at Employment@oregonstate.edu or by mail to the Attn: Employment Services Manager, 122 Kerr Administration Building, Corvallis, Oregon  97331.
