There are several places on campus to have lunch within the hour time frame. A number of fast food options (Subway, Java City, Chick-fil-A, Wendy’s, Italian food and Sushi) are located within the University Center (UC) which is located directly across the street from the Hilton Hotel.

You can also use this time to get your Cougar One card (your employee i.d.) and your parking permit. You will receive instructions on how to do this prior to your lunch break.

We prefer you fill out this paperwork and bring all the necessary forms to ROAR; however, we will still need to see all original identification for the I-9 documentation in person, no copies please.
