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.
Hiring Process
Advertise a Job For a Work-Study Student
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.
Hire a Work-Study Student
Onboarding Process for College Work-Study Students
1. The campus department will provide HR with the student’s completed appointment form
- Indicate on the form if the student is being reappointed (within one year) or newly hired
- Upload completed appointment form to: UB HR CWS Sensitive Box Folder
2. HR will send an email to newly hired CWS students that includes:
- New hire paperwork
- Instructions to submit this paperwork to UB Box
HR will not send any communication to reappointed students as their paperwork will be on file
3. Newly hired students do not need to call HR or visit our office
- All paperwork and the I-9 verification will be completed online
- HR will need to view the original documents the student will use for the I-9
- NO PHOTOCOPIES – MUST PRESENT ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS ON CAMERA DURING ZOOM MEETING
- If the student does not have the original documents he/she will be unable to work until original documents are presented
