PLEASE NOTE**
STUDENTS MAY NOT BEGIN WORK UNTIL AFTER the I-9 Verification has been completed AND the completed Student Hiring Packet has been submitted to Human Resources through DocuSign.
(Updated August 2023) Your I-9 documents can be verified in-person only:
Students should request an appointment for I-9 verification via email (Student_i-9@sfsu.edu) from their SFSU Email address to request an appointment for I-9 Verification – they must include first and last name, student ID number, SFSU Email address, date of birth, hiring department, and desired start date. The student will be sent a link to set up their Tracker I-9 account before they bring their documents to show in-person at the SFSU Parking & Transportation Office.
US Customs and Immigration Services list of acceptable documents.
Students may not start work until their I-9 documents have been verified.
If a student has already completed an I-9 verification because they have worked with a University employer before, and the student's service indicator in Student Center shows their I-9 Verification is current, they DO NOT need to complete a new I-9 verification. Students who might need to complete a NEW I-9 verification include International Students, Permanent Residents and those with an Employment Authorization card depending on their respective end dates which can be found listed in their Student Center.
