I-9 Documentation

There are original documents you MUST bring with you to be eligible for employment on campus. Copies of these documents are not acceptable. These documents are required to complete the Federal I-9 form. The following items are acceptable as proof of employment eligibility, as identified by the federal government. One item from List A is acceptable. However, if an item from List B is selected, then an item from list C must also be selected. We are not able to ask for specific items from any of the lists; however, most students share their original driver's license (List B) and Social Security Card (List C).
