Hire Process Timeline
Graduate Fellowship positions must follow the Graduate School Appointment Dates unless approval has been granted by the Graduate School. Trainee appointments do not have set appointment dates.
Please provide at least 3-5 business days for processing prior to the appointment start date. The service center will enter all Graduate Fellow appointments prior to the University’s Grad Fee Authorization Hire Deadline so long as the necessary approval and clearance is received.
The fellow/trainee will receive a “welcome email” from the service center within one business day of final approval of the request. This email explains the DocuSign paperwork that will be sent. No service center visit or I-9 will be required since they are not employed at OSU. Instructions will be attached for setting up direct deposit for the stipend payments and Glacier for International student taxes.
Once DocuSign is received, the appointment will be entered. No follow up communication will be sent to the supervisor or fellow/trainee unless additional information is needed for the completion of the Hire request by the expected date.
