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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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
