Form I-9 Reverification for Current Employees

To continue employment past your original work authorization date, your work authorization status must be reverified through the University's electronic Form I-9 system. This must be completed before or by the date of work authorization expiration. Form I-9 reverification is performed by the Office of Human Resources in partnership with the Payroll Department and the Office of International Studies (OIS). Note: A reverification does not require a new Form I-9 to be started. 

Current employees that need to reverify their I-9 must schedule an appointment in Craig Hall with HR Shared Services. Current employees will not be able to complete I-9 reverification at Panther Central or Lothrop Hall.

Appointments for in-person I-9 services must be made online. Employees who need reverification services should select "Craig Hall" as their location when scheduling an appointment. Schedule an appointment online.

Please review the I-9 reverification procedures outlined on the scheduling website prior to making an appointment.

If your work authorization status is changing from Non-Immigrant to Permanent Resident or from Permanent Resident to U.S. Citizen, you must notify the Payroll Department by submitting a copy of your Permanent Resident Card or other work authorization documentation used for the I-9 change through their secure site.

For questions or to inquire further about the Form I-9 reverification process, please contact the Office of Human Resources by submitting an online inquiry.
