Undergraduate Students
Forms
If the student is being paid, fill out the New Employee Form (electronic, requires sign-in). Once submitted, a request for approval will be routed to the listed supervisor, then routed to cluster staff for processing.
Filling out this form ensures department staff can create mailbox, add to appropriate listservs, lab roster, etc.
If the student is unpaid and is volunteering in the lab,
Fill out and sign Lab Usage Agreement (download here).
Fill out and sign Volunteer Agreement and Release (download here).
Send all completed paperwork to CBS HR at CBSHR@umn.edu.
If the student is a minor (under the age of 18) the individual and the lab are required by law to complete additional paperwork.
Training
Safety training is handled at the University by the Department of Environment Health and Safety (DEHS).
Safety training is required for all employees, students, and volunteers prior to starting work in the lab. Depending on the type of work that is done in the lab, different trainings are required.
