Welcome to Sewanee!
We are delighted you are joining our University community. As you prepare to start your career at Sewanee, please familiarize yourself with these important deadlines and requirements.
Unless alternative arrangements have been made, provide important new hire documentation to the Office of Human Resources at 380 University Avenue, Sewanee, TN 37383.
Occasionally, a department will hire an employee who will not be physically in close proximity to the University of the South’s Human Resource Office. To facilitate the timely completion of I-9s, it is the employee's responsibility to complete the Remote I-9 Request Form at least 5 business days prior to their start date. The information submitted will be sent to HR and an email will be sent to the employee providing specific instructions on how to complete the Form I-9 in accordance with federal law requirements.
To obtain your employee ID, use the Photo ID Request Form (below) to provide necessary information and upload your photo. You will be contact when your ID is ready.
All students and employees are required to register their vehicles with the Sewanee Police Department by completing the Online Vehicle Registration Form. To complete the form, you will need your Banner ID, your Sewanee email, and your vehicle's make, model, and tag number. The parking sticker must be placed on the rear bumper of your vehicle. There is no registration fee for employees.
Within the first 30 days of employment, you must meet with Human Resources to discuss the benefits for which you are eligible, if any. Contact Chris Champion, Benefits Administrator, or schedule an appointment directly.
Within your first month, you must attend New Hire Training, normally scheduled for the last week of each month. Human Resources will contact you a week in advance of the next available training date with details. If you have any prior questions, please contact Barbara Schloss.
Update: Following appropriate well-being protocols during the COVID-19 outbreak, we have cancelled all in-person New Hire Training sessions; however, we will be scheduling virtual sessions as soon as we are able.
We encourage you to become familiar with the physical place in which we all work as it shapes the community of which we are all a part.
New employees should use their first six months to attend training, get to know the campus community and its members, and engage in continual dialogue with their supervisor and colleagues.
