Not working on the Little Rock (Main) campus? Steps 9–10 are only for Little Rock employees. You will join orientation online as a Virtual Participant if:
- your recruiter emailed you to say you can attend online, or
- your Welcome Email lists another campus (such as UAMS NWA Fayetteville or UAMS Texarkana), or
- your Welcome Email has a Zoom link.
Your Welcome Email has the steps for your location. Not sure which applies to you? Contact the Recruiting Coordinator who sent your Welcome Email.
1. Read your Welcome Email
Your Talent Acquisition (TA) Recruiter and Coordinator will send you a Welcome Email. It tells you what to do on Orientation Day. If you have questions, contact your hiring manager.
2. Sign in to Workday
You will get two emails from the UA System Office:
- Email 1: your temporary login and a link to Workday
- Email 2: your temporary password
Sign in and change your password right away. Your temporary login stops working at 12:01 a.m. on your hire date.
In a few days, you will get another email with your permanent UAMS login and password. You can use either login for Workday.
3. Complete your I-9 and other forms in Workday
You must complete your I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification before your first day. Follow the steps in your Welcome Email.
See the USCIS list of acceptable I-9 documents to know what to bring.
4. Schedule your medical screening
Some jobs need a New Employee Medical Screening. Use MyChart to schedule it.
- No UAMS MyChart account? Sign up for one first.
- Sign in at UAMS MyChart or use the MyChart app on your phone.
- Need help? Call UAMS Student & Employee Health Services (SEHS) at 501-686-6565.
5. Add your education to your Workday profile
We use this information to print your badge. Add it before Orientation Day.
6. Complete your online training in Workday
Go to Workday Learning and complete these two courses:
- UAMS Initial HIPAA Onboarding
- UAMS Initial Corporate Compliance Onboarding
7. Review the dress code
Check the Orientation Dress Code page to plan what to wear. It includes the UAMS Dress Code Policy and Lab Coat Guide. For more details, see the UAMS Employee Handbook.
8. Check your orientation date
Your Welcome Email lists your orientation date. Check the Orientation Day schedule to learn what will happen that day.
Little Rock (Main Campus) employees only
Everyone else can skip to Step 2: Orientation Day.
9. Find your orientation location
All employees must attend orientation in person on the Main Campus. This is required by UAMS Policy 4.7.01: Orientation Procedure. See the In-Person Main Campus Orientation Exceptions page to learn who does not have to attend in person. If you can attend online, your recruiter will email you.
- Find your location on the Orientation Dates & Location page.
- Use the New Employee Orientation Main Campus Map to find your way.
10. Plan your parking and shuttle
Orientation starts at 8:30 a.m. sharp. Park at the Ray Winder or War Memorial lot by 8:00 a.m. Parking at both lots is free.
After you park, take the shuttle to the stop closest to your orientation location. The shuttle can take 10–20 minutes.
