Payroll
Faculty and Instructional Staff members will be paid via direct deposit on the 15th of each month. You will receive a confirming e-mail a few days prior to payday notifying you of your pending deposit. If you haven't already, complete your new hire paperwork forms to establish payroll and direct deposits.
Parking Permit and Photo ID
If you will be parking your car on campus you will need a parking permit. Visit Public Safety's Website for an electronic application. Once the application has been submitted, your permit will be sent via campus mail to your department. Otherwise, you are welcome to stop by Public Safety (Benjamin West House) and fill out a form there where you will be issued a permit. Benjamin West House is located on Chester Road (Rt. 320).
Your Swarthmore College photo ID will be necessary for access to campus buildings, library borrowing privileges, as well as for access to the College's athletic facilities. Visit our One Card office located in Parrish 131A to get your photo ID.
