Employment Eligibility

For employment during the summer a graduate student must meet one of the following requirements:

1. Be enrolled in three semester credit hours during the summer
2. Been enrolled in at least six credit hours the previous spring semester

Graduate Student Appointment

• For graduate student employees being appointed for the first time or after a break in service of one day or more you will need to submit a Graduate Student Appointment Form (PER-41) (pdf). Indicate if the employee has any prior KSU service or service with another State of Kansas agency.
• For rehires with no break in service you need to submit a Change or Separation Form (PER-39) (pdf) or change the Appointment End Date.
• In addition to the PER-41 supporting documents are usually required, for example W-4 Form, K-4 Form, Form I-9, etc. For a complete list of documents required for a new hire or rehire please refer to the transaction check list for graduate student employees.
• Completion of the Spoken English Assessment section of the PER-41 form is required for all new graduate teaching assistants.
• An On-Campus Work Permit is required for non-resident alien employees. Personnel Specialists should electronically request the work permit through the International Student Center.
• Employee Oath must be completed and notarized for all new hires. For rehires the Employee Oath is not required.
• For a rehire, please verify that both the student's address and the direct deposit information (if applicable) in HRIS are up-to-date. When a student terminates, this information is not deleted from HRIS unless the employee has been terminated on all employment records for more than one year.

Summer School/Summer Appointments

• Individual Graduate Student Appointment Forms are not required for summer school appointments if the person held a graduate student appointment during the preceding spring semester. The information provided by the colleges will be forwarded to HR for processing into HRIS. Individual appointment forms will only need to be submitted on new Graduate Teaching Assistants.
• For graduate student summer appointments, blanket listings will be accepted. However, separate listings will be required for appointments with job title changes and those appointments without job title changes. The blanket listings should include the information listed in the following table and include appropriate signatures.

Separations

• To process terminations, departments have access to update Appointment End Date. Terminations may also be processed by submitting a Change or Separation Form (PER-39) (pdf) if the end of appointment date is different than that indicated at the time of appointment. Use Action "Termination" (TER) and Reason "End Temporary Appt" (ETM).
