The Clearance Process
Employee clearance information
In accordance with CSU Policy (8030.00) and the State Administrative Manual (8580.4), CSUMB has established clearance procedures to ensure access to job-related resources, databases, and facilities are properly revoked.
Separating employees should review the FAQ and Employee Clearance Checklist before leaving the University. Once the clearance process is initiated, important communications from Payroll and Benefits will be issued. Please be sure to continue checking your campus email for these messages.
