Faculty Onboarding

Your First Day

To help you get started smoothly, we’ve put together a checklist of important tasks to complete on your first day.

Required Tasks

From day one, we want you to feel welcomed and prepared to begin your journey with us. As you settle in, you'll start to discover what it truly means to be a part of the UTA community and your new team.

Remember, you must attend your I-9 onboarding appointment, which you scheduled online before your first day. At this appointment, you will complete Section 2 of your Employment Eligibility Verification form. This step must be completed within 3 business days of your start date.

IMPORTANT:

Be sure to bring your ORIGINAL acceptable documents — copies, photos, or scans are not accepted.

If you haven’t scheduled your appointment yet, visit the bookings page below to set it up:
