If hired, the Talent Acquisition (TA) team, will send a background check form, an offer letter, and other documents to the email indicated when applying for the position. Students cannot begin working until the required documents are signed and returned. Please note: Chamberlain students are not required to complete a background check to qualify for FWS employment. However, students are required to sign the background check document and returned it to the TA team. All documents should be completed within 2 days of receipt. Check your spam folder for the TA email. All documents must be completed and submitted before a student can be hired.

Once you have received your colleague D#, sign-in to the Covista Commons portal and complete the New Hire Survey. Check your Chamberlain colleague email for instructions on completing the New Hire Survey.
Once student workers have their colleague D#, students should complete the FWS Training Map provided by the FWSC. Students must complete all the trainings identified on the training map within the first 30 days of employment. Failure to do so could result in termination.
