U-M Ann Arbor Students

Find a job by searching available jobs, then apply online or contact employers for interviews.

Note: Applying for jobs online does NOT guarantee you will be granted an interview or be hired. Please read the full description of a position to ensure you are eligible to apply.

 

Before starting your job search, go to the Student Collections page on Wolverine Access and navigate to the Student Employment Application tile in order to complete or update the information on file.

Once you have been offered a job, you must be prepared to complete all required employment forms.

Required Forms

1. Federal Form I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification Form

I-9 forms are completed electronically using the university's partner, EMP Trust. An invitation to begin the process will be sent to your umich.edu email address. Please check your inbox and follow the instructions included in the email to complete your I-9. Non compliance with this federal government requirement may result in the termination of your employment. 

Completion is a two part process:

• Part One: Complete Section 1 online on or before your first day of employment.

• Part Two: Completion of Section 2 requires you to schedule and attend an in-person appointment no later than your third day of employment. Section 2 of the Form I-9's are completed by appointment only (walk-ins will not be accepted). Visit the I-9 Website to view available locations and schedule your appointment.

To prepare for and shorten the length of the appointment, the I-9 Office encourages you to:

• Check your umich.edu inbox for an invitation from EMP Trust, the university's I-9 partner and follow the included instructions.

• Review the list of acceptable documents required to complete the I-9 form. Note that you will be required to upload a copy of these documents when completing Section One of the I-9 form.

• Bring the original supporting documents that you uploaded in Section One to the in-person appointment (copies can not be accepted as the federal government requires original documents be physically present for inspection).

2. Direct Deposit Authorization

Direct Deposit is the University’s recommended method of delivering your paycheck. Your paycheck is deposited directly into your bank account, and you can access your pay stubs from any computer using Wolverine Access > View Paycheck.

3. W-4 Tax (Federal and Michigan Tax Withholding)

Upon hire, the University assumes a Federal and Michigan tax filing status of “single with no exemptions.” If your filing or exemption status is different from this, please update the information in Wolverine Access > Employee Self Service. Look for the Federal and Michigan W-4 links.

In most instances, you may update your Federal W-4 information using Wolverine Access. First, follow the steps to view your W-4 information. Make changes to your Federal W-4 information and submit.

If you are not a U.S. citizen or Permanent Resident, you cannot update your Federal W-4 information using the web; you must complete a hardcopy form. Both forms are available for printing from the W-4 page on Wolverine Access.

4. Work-Study Job Certification Form

You will need to work with your employer to complete this form only if your employer is a non-University agency.

Beware of employment scams. Here are some tips to be safe:

• If a potential employer asks you to participate in an activity that makes you feel uncomfortable, don’t do it.
• A potential, legitimate employer will not request your bank account, credit card or Paypal account number or other information.
• Avoid sending copies of your identification or Social Security number to an unknown person.
• Phishing alert information.
