Student Employment

What to do before new employment begins:

Students may NOT begin working without completing the necessary paperwork (listed below) and producing their I-9 documents to the Human Resources/Payroll Staff. The I-9 process is a Federal requirement that verifies an employee's right to work in the United States. Students must complete this process with a member of the HR/Payroll staff no later than their first day of employment.

Christine Harris (for students with the last names M-Z)

For Returning Student Workers Only:

If you are a returning student worker and have already competed your I-9 in the last year, you will not need to schedule an appointment.

Work Study: If you are work study and receive an Employment Authorization Card from Financial Aid and it has I-9 printed on the bottom, once that form is filled out by your Supervisor of your Work Study position, you can return that form and your Notice and Acknowledgement of Pay Rate and Payday to Financial Aid in Alumni Hall before your first day of employment.
