Guidelines for the number of hours of course and research registration have been established by the Graduate School for use by departments in monitoring graduate student staff. Information Purdue University, in accordance with federal regulations, requires all new or rehired employees to establish proof of identity and employment eligibility before commencing employment and will not employ individuals who are unable to do so.
Verification of employment is the responsibility of the hiring department.
U. S. citizens and resident aliens should be prepared to present appropriate identification to the departmental business office on the first day of employment. The most common forms of identification used are a valid driver's license and a social security card. These papers will be sent to the student as soon as all admission procedures are completed and the student has shown proof of sufficient financial resources to attend Purdue. If an international student is transferring to Purdue from another educational institution in the U.S., certain transfer procedures must be completed before or immediately after arrival at Purdue. That office then will process the F-1 transfer to Purdue.
