Tuesday, January 17 – 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Wednesday, January 18 – 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Location: New South, room B10 (basement)

Hours for the remainder of the semester are by appointment only, normally on Monday and Thursday mornings at New South, room B10.

Employees were sent instructions (princeton.edu email) to complete the personal information (section 1) of I-9 in the Tracker online I-9 system along with the details to present their documentation to HR.  Employees residing within the tri-state region (NJ, PA, NY) are required to complete the I-9 in person. Those who are approved to work fully remote outside of the region, may contact [email protected] to make alternate arrangements.  

University accounts are set up for all University faculty and staff, and unlock access to technology services including University email accounts, the campus network, and more. The Office of Information Technology makes it easy to get started and offers tech support when you need it.

Note that other aspects of the onboarding process are explained in important information that will be sent to your University email account.
