Completed Admission Process
New (incoming) students must be fully admitted to a graduate program in order to be eligible for a graduate employee (GE) appointment.
Be sure to complete all outstanding requirements as advised by your department or the Division of Graduate Studies as soon as possible.
Pending admission will affect our ability to set up your appointment.
Notice of Appointment
Departments initiate the set-up of GE appointments by submitting an electronic payroll form (PRF) to the Division of Graduate Studies.

Hire Documents
Departments will advise GEs on required hire documents. These documents include the I-9, W-4, Employee Information Form, and other forms required for international employees.
These documents must be completed and submitted by departments to payroll in order for an appointment to be fully processed.
Late Pay
The Division of Graduate Studies reviews all contracts and payroll forms in the order in which they’re received. Upon approval, the payroll form is forwarded to the payroll office for completion.
Payroll forms and hire documents received after September 10 may result in a delayed paycheck.
In cases where appointment paperwork is submitted late, the Division of Gradute Studies will work with your department and the payroll office to address the issues with all possible expedience. Pay will be made retroactive to the day the appointment began.
