I-9 Processing and Onboarding
I-9s are processed in person at the UNT Health Human Resources office, Monday through Friday by appointment only. Appointments can only be scheduled once you have an offer letter from the hiring department, a criminal history check has cleared, and online onboarding has been completed. You must have your original, unexpired I-9 verification documents in hand when you arrive for your appointment.
The I-9 process must be completed on or before the third day of work, in accordance with federal law. Failure to comply with the federal requirements means that you will not be permitted to work for UNT Health Fort Worth.
Types of Student Employment
- Hourly Student Employment
- Student Assistant – general duties.
- Graduate Research Assistant – working in a lab and/or assisting a research faculty member with duties on a sponsored research project.
- Federal Work Study (FWS) – general duties. Must be approved for FWS employment.

Weekly Work Hours
Students are limited to 19 hours/week during the Fall and Winter semesters regardless of how many departments the new hire will be working in. The 19 hour per week limit is cumulative if the student holds more than one job on campus. Students may work up to 40 hours during Summer term (while not enrolled in classes) but will need to reduce their hours when the semester begins.
For clarification on work hour limitations and exceptions, please contact UNT Health HR. For FWS, contact Financial Aid.
International students working more than 20 hours a week during Fall and Spring semesters can jeopardize their visa status. F-1 international students are eligible to work more than 20 hours per week during semester breaks and annual summer vacation.
