Welcome to Mizzou!
We are glad to have you with us. As you get introduced to your new work duties, there are also some actions to take to familiarize yourself with what it's like being a faculty or staff member at the university.
New Employee Registration
New employee registration (NER) covers the initial federal I-9 paperwork that must be completed on or before your first day of work. Make sure to be prepared with the necessary documents, described below, to avoid any delays on your start date.
If you are new employee that does not work in close proximity to any campus in the University of Missouri System (e.g., some MU Extension employees), your preboarding procedures will be different. Contact your hiring department for additional instructions.
- Complete four preboarding forms in myHR
- Instructions on completing the four forms are included in the preboarding email you received.
- Access myHR by visiting myhr.umsystem.edu.
- Make sure all four forms are complete before moving on to step two.
- Bring employment eligibility and identification documents to NER
- Per U.S. Department of Homeland Security requirements, only original versions can be accepted (no photocopies, faxes or electronic versions of any kind).
- For reference, the list of acceptable forms is available on the second page of the federal Form I-9

There’s a lot to learn as you begin in a new role and New Employee Orientation (NEO) is your primer for all the core facets of being a university employee, including university history, structure, policies, training and educational opportunities, safety, health and benefits and more.
Register for New Employee Orientation
Sessions are typically held on the first and third Wednesday each month, with occasional variations. Register in advance through the university’s employee training portal, Percipio. Orientation sessions are virtual for the time being.
If you need special accommodations for attending New Employee Orientation, please contact the Office of Human Resources to make arrangements. All registrants receive a copy of the presentation (PDF) and any associated handouts via email the week of the session.
IDs and Passes

Some departments may include these steps as part of orientation; consult with your supervisor or HR Partner for additional instructions.
