Department Guide: Hiring Student Workers/GAs

There are several steps associated with hiring student employees.

1. The Department submits the Position Review Form (PRF) to request a job posting.
   • If you need a current position description, contact [email protected] before submitting this form.
   • Allow a minimum of three (3) business days for review and processing. HR will return incomplete forms, which may delay processing. Requests remain under review until all required approvals are received. The effective date is contingent upon the completion of Workday processes.
2. HR posts the job in the Workday Student Career Site (the student job posting website).
3. The Department selects candidate(s) from the Workday requisition.
4. The Department submits the Final Hiring Checklist (FHC).
5. HR completes the hire in Workday.
6. The student worker completes onboarding and I-9 federal verification.

Each new hire takes approximately one full week to process. Please ensure that all new Position Review Forms and Final Hiring Checklists are submitted at least one week prior to the intended start date to allow sufficient time for processing and approval. Start dates are contingent upon background checks, approvals and processing times.
