It is critically important that you submit your I-9 documentation in a timely manner.
You may complete the I-9 process either in-person or remotely.
- To complete in-person, you may bring your documentation to our front office on campus in Painter Hall (PAI), 4th floor, room 4.02 during regular business hours M-F 8:30-5:00 PM.
- To complete the process remotely, please follow the instructions here. You will need an individual, who is at least 18 years of age, to verify your employment authorization documents. Please ensure that the attached instructions are followed. Lastly, since the paper Form I-9 is not an electronic document, all signatures will need to be signed by hand and not electronically.

Failure to complete both parts of this process in a timely manner will result in the cancellation of your internship request. Please get in touch if you are unable to meet this deadline.
