Employee Clearance & Release Process
Resources have been created to guide supervisors, managers, and employees on departure procedures from the University of Texas at Arlington. All separating UTA employees must be cleared by their supervisor or the supervisor's designee before their last day of employment.
HOW THE CLEARANCE RELEASE FORM PROCESS WORKS:
- Resigning employee virtually submits the form to their supervisor or the department admin submits the form
- The supervisor virtually accepts the form
- The employee receives the notification of the supervisor’s acceptance
- The manager and clearance departments receive clearance checklist items to be satisfied prior to the employee’s last day
