Graduates employees must:
- Be in compliance with Enrollment Requirements
- Have an up-to-date I-9 and Background Check with UGS
- All student employees are required to have a social security number
- Register and pay for the current semester
Graduate students who have worked as Math Instructors cannot receive AIS/APS pay as well as be employed as a student employee. They may be paid only as one type of employee, student or contractor (APS).
Graduate students with a 20-hour TAship may have additional employment up to 30 hours/week IF they receive written email confirmation from their Graduate Advisor. The confirmation must be received before UGS HR is able to appoint the student. Appointment over 30 hours/week are not permitted.

Example of email confirmation:
Dear "Supervisor",
Thanks for asking. You have my approval to appoint "Student" (EID: "eid123") to 8 additional hours above her current 20 hour per week appointment. Feel free to contact me if you need additional information.
Best regards,
"Graduate Advisor"
GA requirements:
Same as above, GAs also must work 20 hours every week they are appointed. GAs are eligible for health insurance and will receive email notification directing them to the sign up directions - typically this information will get to them a couple weeks into the semester.
