Congratulations on your new position as a student employee with the University of North Dakota!
We know you are eager to start earning a paycheck, but there are a few steps you must take after accepting the role before you can begin working.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Student Employment at UND.studentemployment@UND.edu or 701.777.3904.
Criminal History Background Check (CHBC)
UND is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all students, faculty, staff, and visitors, and to protecting its funds, property, and other assets. Well-informed decisions contribute to this effort. Background checks are verification of credentials and other information obtained about a prospective candidate, current employee, or volunteer, and are the first step in making a well-informed hiring decision.
At UND, such verification may include any or all of the following: criminal history check/national sex offender registry check, employment verification, license and/or certification verification, and/or academic credential verification.
The department that hired you will inform you whether you need a CHBC or not. If so, it will be emailed to you. Please complete the CHBC as quickly as possible so UND can proceed with the hiring process.

All new hires must complete the I-9. Form I-9 is used for verifying the identity and employment authorization of individuals hired for employment in the United States. All U.S. employers must ensure proper completion of Form I-9 for each individual they hire for employment in the United States. This includes citizens and noncitizens.
You MUST have original acceptable UNEXPIRED identification documents with you when you complete the I-9. Your employing department will tell you which location to go to when you complete your I-9. Copies of documents will not be accepted.
