Graduating Students

Instructions for Graduates

Students who are graduating and leaving the island on or near graduation day must stop working three days prior to graduation and complete a Request for Final Payroll Check Form. The Request for Final Payroll Check form must be submitted three days prior to graduation. Students should send completed forms to ofa.tilini@byuh.edu after clocking out for their final shift and all hours worked have been submitted and approved by their supervisor. Students will receive their final paycheck on the Friday of the week of graduation.

For those graduating and not leaving the island near graduation day, the last day of work will be graduation day. Graduating students should still submit the Request for Final Payroll Check form, especially if they will be leaving and closing their bank account before the last payday of the semester. Students whose last day of work is graduation day will receive their final paycheck the Monday or Wednesday after graduation, depending on when the Request for Final Payroll Check form was turned in. See below for semester-specific dates.

*International student graduates may work until graduation day if they will not be leaving the island on or near graduation.

*Domestic graduates may legally work up to three weeks post-graduation as a student. Managers who have a need for a domestic student to extend should contact ofa.tilini@byuh.edu.

All international graduates from winter 2021 MUST end work on the last day of the semester. If given the needed approval by ISS the graduate may then apply for jobs or go back to their previous job and begin work after the onboarding is complete. In order to be hired/re-hired the student must provide the ISS approval letter to Student Employment.
