Notes on the I-9 Form

Federal law requires all student employees to complete a Form I-9 to verify their identity and employment authorization. Information about the Form I-9, including a complete list of acceptable documents, is available on I-9 Central.

The student will be prompted to complete Section 1 of the Form I-9 after they're hired in Workday. After they complete Section 1, they will then elect a friend, roommate, or family member to serve as their Section 2 reviewer. The student will meet with the Section 2 reviewer to present original and unexpired documents that verify the student's identity and employment authorization. After Section 2 is complete, the I-9 will then be routed to the appropriate Cornell staff member for final approval and authorization. This must be done by the third day of work.

International students should consult International Services in the Office of Global Learning, located at 300 Caldwell Hall, before seeking on-campus work.
