Helpful Employment Information:

Required I-9 Documentation

All students wishing to work on campus must bring documentation to complete the Federal I-9 form in order to legally work in the US. As per federal law, no student is permitted to work until this requirement has been met.

Only original identification documents can be accepted (no copies) to meet this requirement.

Examples of needed documentation are listed below:

US Citizens

Example #1 – a current US Passport - OR -
Example #2 – both a Student ID and a Social Security Card -OR-
Example #3 – both a valid Driver’s license and a birth certificate

Generally two picture ID’s, such as a Driver’s License and a Student ID, will not meet the needed requirements, additional documents must accompany the photo IDs.

Please see the Federal I-9 Form for additional examples of allowable documentation.

International students

All International students must bring their current I-20, passport and I-94 card to fulfill the I-9 requirement.
International students will also be required to obtain a DHS Social Security Card if they do not already have one.
