Student Checklist
Student employees must follow the process below in order to receive a paycheck.
Before you begin working on campus you must first complete all required employment employment verification paperwork with the Center for Career & Professional Development Office. Office hours are Monday – Friday 8:00AM – 5:00PM, no appointments necessary.
The process for employment verification is different for international students, see information below for that process.
Students must provide documentation to TCU to show their identity and authorization to work in the U.S. To do this, students must complete the following.
- Complete the I-9 form.
- Provide appropriate original documentation within 3 business days of your first day of employment. Students must choose from the List of Acceptable Documents on the I-9 form: One document from List A, or one document from List B and one document from List C. No copies of documents are accepted.
- Bring the I-9 Form and the appropriate original documentation to the Center for Career & Professional Development during business hours.
- Once your I-9 paperwork has been verified, students will receive an email from the Center for Career & Professional Development. This email will notify you of the next steps you must take, which include working with your hiring supervisor.
Contact the Center for Career and Professional Development or by calling 817-257-2222. All student employment is handled through the Center for Career and Professional Development.
Your hiring department will complete an Electronic Personnel Action Form (ePAF) and route it electronically to Human Resources for processing.
If you are a federal work study student, your hiring Electronic Personnel Action Form (ePAF) will be electronically routed to Financial Aid for review. Once approved by Financial Aid, your hiring Electronic Personnel Action Form (ePAF) will be electronically routed to Human Resources for processing.
You will receive an email from Human Resources that your hiring Electronic Personnel Action Form (ePAF) has been processed and the date your job will be active in the Human Resources system.
