Complete I-9 (In-Person)

New employees are required by law to complete their I-9 Form Section 2 verification IN-PERSON on or before their first day. If the employee does not complete this, they will not be able to start work until this verification has been completed. This is separate from the I-9 Section 1 form which was completed through HireRight.

Please visit the Employment Services to complete this process by providing the acceptable documentation (i.e. Passport, State Driver's License, Social Security Card). The documentation must be valid, not expired, and must be an original not a copy of the documentation. If you have questions about the I-9 verification process or acceptable documentation please reach out to I9.ss@du.edu.

Parking & Transportation

Parking at DU

All parking on the University of Denver Campus is either permit or fee-based. As such, there is no free parking on campus, and anyone parking on campus must either display a valid permit or pay the hourly fee. We also have an agreement with the City of Denver prohibiting University parking on streets adjacent to campus, a policy we adhere to in the interest of lessening negative impact on the surrounding area.
