• When it’s ready for you to sign, you will receive an email. You can find it in your Inbox at forms.seattleu.edu. 
• The SEAF tells you everything you need to know about your job. If you have any questions about the job or any details in the SEAF, be sure to contact your supervisor or hiring manager before signing.

If you do not have these documents on campus, you will need to get them or have them mailed to you before your appointment and before you can begin work.

Visit the I-9 website for additional details about I-9s and acceptable documentation. Most students who are U.S citizens bring the following:
