Monday, May 6Below is important information about actions you will need to take early on in your employment at Northeastern.

I-9 Form

The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 requires that all employees must provide evidence of eligibility for employment in the United States. In addition, Northeastern University is an E-verify Employer. Thus, all new faculty and staff must complete the I-9 Form, validating their identity and ability to work in the United States, within their first three days of employment. Your offer letter identifies the person responsible for reviewing your I-9 documentation.

Federal Ethnicity, Race & Gender Reporting

Once you are a University employee, federal guidelines require that we ask you to provide information on your ethnicity, race and gender for statistical purposes only. The data collected is confidential. This form will be included in your hiring packet, but you can also access it here, Federal Ethnicity, Race & Gender Reporting Form (PDF).

Husky ID card

The card allows you to check out materials from the library, obtain your parking sticker if you will be driving to work, entrance to the Cabot Gymnasium and, if you establish a Husky account, use your Husky ID as a debit card at participating restaurants and stores. To apply for your Husky card, please go to the Customer Service Center located in 120 Hayden Hall.

Parking Sticker

MBTA Passes

Passes can be obtained at the Human Resources Management office, located in 250 Columbus Place, by filling out the MBTA Pre-Tax Transit Form (PDF) to receive a pretax savings benefit.
