For Students Who Plan to Have On-Campus Employment

by

The following message was provided by Campus Recreation, which is one of the largest employers of students on campus.

—————-

For students who will be working on campus, they will have to complete an I-9 form within 3 business days of their first day of employment.  If the form isn’t complete, the student employee cannot work.

To complete the I-9 form, the student employee has to present acceptable forms of ID.  This is the list of acceptable forms of ID:  Acceptable I-9 Documents.

Typically, student employees present a drivers license and either a social security card or certified birth certificate, or, alternatively, a passport.  By law, these must be original documents,  not copied, scanned, texted, emailed, or other electronic duplication.

Understandably, students and their families would like Wake Forest to accept non-original documents or permit the student to start working before they have presented original documents.  However, the supervisor has to sign off on the I-9 form attesting under penalty of perjury that they have examined the document(s) the student employee has present and that the documents appear to be genuine.

If your student plans to work on campus, please be sure to send him/her to school with acceptable forms of ID for 1-9 documents.
