Onboarding New Faculty & Staff

The Form I-9 is used for verifying the identity and employment authorization of individuals hired for employment in the United States. Faculty are legally required to complete their I-9 form within the first three days of working at BU. New faculty and staff will receive an official appointment letter signed by the Dean of BU Wheelock via email. Hard copies are available upon request.

If you have not been contacted by Human Resources to set up an appointment to complete your I-9 form before your start date, please contact the payroll & personnel administrator. For this appointment, please take your appointment letter along with your documentation to Human Resources.

Payroll Enrollment

For issues concerning payroll, contact the payroll & personnel administrator.

At the time of your HR appointment, you will also obtain a BU identification card. This identification card functions as your campus library card and convenience points card, for use at dining facilities, BU @ Barnes & Noble bookstore, and City Convenience stores.

Kerberos is a secure network authentication protocol that protects your information and the information of BU at large. BU HR will set up each new faculty member with a user name and password, which will allow you access to the Faculty Link and the Employee Self-Service Link. Your Kerberos user name will determine your BU email address.

All faculty and staff must obtain and use a BU email address, which is essential for receiving important school-wide communication. As a BU employee, you will be expected to correspond with students using this email account. Microsoft Outlook is the supported email application within BU. New faculty will be assisted with email setup by the Desktop Services Specialist.

The University now has an agreement with Gmail that will allow you to access your BU email through the Google platform. To do so, visit www.gmail.com and login using your full BU email (ex. johndoe@bu.edu) and Kerberos password. Faculty may also enable a Google Apps account, which gives access to many further tools within the Google suite, including Google Drive, Google Calendar, and more. BU Gmail also allows for attachments of greater sizes than other email providers.
