You will need to bring your required I-9 identification with you to the EAC to complete your CORI and your I9.

If you are not able to come during these hours, you may complete your required CORI and I9 with a notary and mail it to Human Resources. Copies of the documents the Notary attested to for your CORI and I9 must be included with what you send to HR. A scanned copy of this information must also be sent to termlecturers [at] mghihp.edu (termlecturers[at]mghihp[dot]edu). Please contact HR if you plan to proceed with this option.

All new hire paperwork listed below must be completed within one week of receiving your contract and returned to Human Resources via email at termlecturers [at] mghihp.edu (termlecturers[at]mghihp[dot]edu).
