Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability:
Form CC-305 OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Why are you being asked to complete this form? Because we do business with the government, we must reach out to, hire, and provide
equal opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. To help us measure how well
we are doing, we are asking you to tell us if you have a disability or if you ever
had a disability. Completing this form is voluntary, but we hope that you will choose
to fill it out. If you are applying for a job, any answer you give will be kept private
and will not be used against you in any way.
If you already work for us, your answer will not be used against you in any way.
Because a person may become disabled at any time, we are required to ask all of our
employees to update their information every five years. You may voluntarily self-identify
as having a disability on this form without fear of any punishment because you did
not identify as having a disability earlier.
How do I know if I have a disability? You are considered to have a disability if you have a physical or mental impairment
or medical condition that substantially limits a major life activity, or if you have
a history or record of such an impairment or medical condition.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Veteran Status:
Towson University is a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans'
Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 (VEVRAA), as amended by the Jobs for Veterans
Act of 2002, 38 U.S.C. 4212 (VERAA), which requires government contractors to take
affirmative action to employ and advance in employment:
disabled veterans
recently separated veterans
active duty wartime or campaign badge veterans
Armed Forces service medal veterans
These classifications are defined as follows:
A "disabled veteran" is one of the following:
A veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation
(or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation)
under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or
a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-related
disability.
A "recently separated veteran" is any veteran during the three-year period beginning
on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military,
ground, naval, or air service.
An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" is a veteran who served on active
duty in the U. S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign
or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered
by the Department of Defense.
An "Armed forces service medal veteran" is a veteran who, while serving on active
duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service participated in a United States
military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to
Executive Order 12985.
Protected veterans may have additional rights under USERRA - the Uniformed Services
Employment and Reemployment Rights Act. In particular, if you were absent from employment
in order to perform service in the uniformed service, you may be entitled to be re-employed
by your employer in the position you would have obtained with reasonable certainty
if not for the absence due to service. For more information, call the U.S. Department
of Labor's Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS), toll-free at 1-866-4-USA-DOL.
If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed above,
please indicate by checking the appropriate box below. As a government contractor
subject to VEVRAA, we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness
of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA.
Submission of this information is voluntary and refusal to provide it will not subject
you to any adverse treatment. The information provided will be used only in ways that
are consistent with the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974,
as amended.
