Pre-Employment Paperwork
Students must complete Pre-Employment paperwork (I-9, Tax, and Direct Deposit forms) prior to starting work. At the Storrs Campus, Section 2 of the I-9 form is certified by the individual on-campus employers/departments. Some of the Regional Campuses may have a central location & contact person to assist with completion of the forms. Students being hired at a regional campus should contact their supervisor for guidance.
