All students are required to complete the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification in advance of their start date. Students will not be given system access until the Form I-9 has been received in its entirety by Student Employment. Once candidates have accepted their job offer in the IC HR Cloud, they will receive Form I-9 completion and submission instructions.
Please note, the Form I-9 requires students to present original, unexpired documents to verify employment eligibility. Please see here for more information. Students who do not have access to these documents should make arrangements to receive them in advance of their start date. Students cannot use a photocopy of any List A, List B or List C document.
Students must complete the Form I-9 for their first job at IC, but will not be expected to complete the Form I-9 again during their time as a student at IC, unless there is a gap between undergraduate and graduate enrollment. For questions, please contact Student Employment.
