Incidents reported on this form will be recorded in a database maintained by the Office for Institutional Diversity. Reports will be kept confidential to the extent possible unless it requires judicial or administrative action. The purpose of the database is to tally incidents and track details related to them. We expect to use this information to prevent and better respond to future incidents, and reassure the community that campus authorities are attentive to incident reports.
This form is not necessary if you have reported the incident to another campus authority (BCPD, ODSD, Res Life, HR, Deans, etc.) because those reports will automatically be included in the database.
In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Boston College will provide a reasonable accommodation to qualified people with disabilities (including special disabled veterans) to enable them to safely and effectively perform the essential functions of their positions, to enjoy equal benefits and privileges of employment whether as faculty, staff, or student employees, or for applicants to participate in the employment application process.

Lottery/Enrollment Process
BCCC is a preschool program with extended day in the afternoon. Its mission is to provide high-quality preschool education and care to the children of employees and students.
There are 42 full-time spaces. Enrollment for open spaces is done through an annual lottery; the lottery process is designed to afford all employee/student families an opportunity to access the program. The lots for openings are made up annually. The application period begins in October and ends before the Holiday break (annual dates are on the form). The lottery takes place at the end of Fall session, when a blind draw is done by the Vice President of Human Resources.
Applicants are placed in lottery categories by the BCCC director according to the information given on the application. A count of the current members is taken, and priority for openings is given to full-time applicants and underrepresented categories. Family categories include Faculty, Professional/Admin, Support Staff, Serv/Tech, Graduate Student, and Undergraduate Student. Other areas that affect the lots drawn are age group, schedule requested, and gender.
Once the lots are drawn, parents are informed of their status by email, and appointments for tours and intake interviews are scheduled. Parents are asked to read the Parent Handbook on the web prior to their intake appointment.
The center requests a commitment to accept enrollment or withdraw shortly after the intake interview so that any vacancies can be given to families on the wait list. Once the decision to join BCCC is made, an enrollment process with a contract for service and a one month’s advanced tuition is initiated. This tuition payment holds the child’s place in the Fall class. This advanced payment is non-refundable.
In June, an information packet with registration, permission forms, and medical/health documentation is processed. School visits for the children are also scheduled. The new school year begins in early September.

I-9 Information

Instructions for completing the Form I-9
What is the Form I-9?
The 1986 Immigration and Reform Act sought to control the problem of illegal migration by eliminating a key incentive for unauthorized persons to come to the United States: employment. To accomplish this, IRCA made all US employers responsible to ensure that US citizen as well as non-citizen employees hired after November 6, 1986, document both that they are eligible to work in the United States and that their identities match the information on their employment authorization documents. To implement this, employers were required to complete the Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9 for all employees.
Employers are responsible for the completion of Form I-9 for all employees, regardless of citizenship or national origin. An employee is any individual compensated for services to an employer, whether by payment in the form of wages/salary or in the form of goods or services such as food and lodging.
Terms used within this document:
- Employer = Boston College
- BC Rep = Boston College staff member authorized to sign off on the Form I-9
- Employee = New hire presenting identity and work eligibility information

Financial Planning Subsidy
Boston College will provide a partial subsidy for certain financial planning services obtained by faculty and staff members, in accordance with the following guidelines.
- The primary purpose of this policy will be to assist employees with retirement and estate planning decisions. These decisions may include such considerations as investment analysis, education funding for children or grandchildren, catastrophic illness planning, or strategies for taking retirement plan distributions.
- Full-time faculty and staff, age 40 and over, with at least one year of current full-time service at Boston College will be eligible to participate in this program.
- To be eligible for the subsidy, a participant must utilize recognized professionals in the financial planning field, including but not necessarily limited to, Certified Financial Planners, Chartered Financial Consultants, Certified Public Accountants, and attorneys specializing in financial and/or estate planning.
- In order to participate, an employee must complete, in advance, a Financial Planning Subsidy Application (also available at the Benefits Office, Room 140, 129 Lake Street) indicating the person or company whose services are to be used and providing appropriate information about the provider's financial planning credentials. It is the University's intent to allow a participant as much flexibility as possible in selecting a financial planning advisor. Nevertheless, the University reserves the right to seek additional information about a planner's credentials and, when deemed appropriate, to decline to subsidize the planner's services.
- Boston College will subsidize 80% of the cost of eligible financial planning services, up to a maximum contribution of $560 per person. Payment will be made directly to the employee upon submission of a receipted invoice to the Benefits Office detailing the cost of services rendered. The subsidy maximum may be reached in more than one installment, but the final request for reimbursement must be made within one year of the initial payment. The reimbursement is taxable and the amount will be included in the employee's W-2 Form. (Participants in the 90-91 Financial Planning Pilot Program will not be eligible for this subsidy.)
- Five years after receiving the last reimbursement, an eligible employee may receive an additional subsidy for the cost of follow-up financial planning services. The additional subsidy will be 80% of the cost of eligible services, up to a maximum reimbursement that is one-half of the current primary benefit (e.g., 80% of the $350 = $280). Subsequent additional subsidies will be available on a rolling five-year basis. (Note: Participants in the 90-91 Financial Planning Pilot Program are eligible for this subsidy.)
- This program will be subject to continuing review to determine if it is meeting its intended objectives. The University reserves the right to suspend, terminate, or limit participation in the program at any time.
