College Work-Study For Supervisors
Our students have a great opportunity to participate at UB beyond the classroom. We encourage departments to challenge work-study students with meaningful tasks and allow them to be part of the team.
On This Page:
Hiring Process
You should advertise your own student positions. We encourage you post them in Bullseye powered by Handshake, the ultimate job and internship spot.
Start by creating an On-Campus Employer account in Bullseye powered by Handshake, then post your on-campus job or internship.
Onboarding Process for College Work-Study Students
The campus department will complete the appointment form.
- Indicate on the form if the student is being reappointed (within one year) or newly hired
- If reappointed (within one year) upload the completed appointment form to: UB HR CWS Sensitive Box Folder
- If new hire, the student needs to complete the new hire paperwork.
- The supervisor or departmental representative will need to review the original documents and complete page 2 of the I-9
- Once completed, the supervisor or departmental representative must upload the completed paperwork, a copy of the original document (s) used for the I-9 verification, and the completed appointment form to UB Box.
Students will have one appointment form from Financial Aid and can work for only one department. Complete each item in the list of transactions:
