Once you are offered a student employment position, you will still need to complete the below steps before you may start working:

• After you have applied and your new employer has been approved to start your hiring process, you will receive an email from universityoftexasarlington@screening.services with the subject line: Background Check Request. If you don’t receive this link, then you need to contact the hiring department. Complete the request in the email to begin the background check. The Office of Talent, Culture, and Inclusion will notify the departmental contact with the background check results.
• If you are cleared to move forward in the hiring process, your department should send you a formal offer letter. Send this back to your department with a signature.
• If you are a work-study student, you will need to turn in your Work-study Eligibility Form to your hiring department.
• All new student employees will be required to attend a paperwork session with the Office of Talent, Culture, and Engagement. Click here for a link to sign up for a session. At these sessions all new student employees will be required to complete sections 1 and 2 of the federal Form I-9. This will require you to show, in person, required documentation. Per federal requirements, Human Resources must see original (not scanned, copied, or digital) documents when you complete the form in our office.

In general, your hiring department should guide you through these steps. Check out our New Position Information Student Checklist for steps to insure a smooth on-boarding with your supervisor. However, if you or your supervisor have questions, please feel free to reach out to our office.
