Overview

Congratulations on your faculty appointment, and welcome to Antonine University (UA)!
This section is designed to provide you with an overview of the first steps, processes, and procedures that you need to consider as you transition into your new role as a UA faculty member.

It is essential to read the following information carefully and complete the necessary actions in a timely manner to avoid any potential complications with upcoming steps, such as payroll and document clearance.

Please note that, in addition to the orientation session organized at the beginning of each semester, the Office of Human Resources (OHR) is always ready to assist you with any inquiry or clarification.

Required Documents

There are several documents that are crucial for preparing your contract, arranging financial-related declaration, and calculating different payroll fees, such as teaching hours and transportation, which must be submitted to the OHR throughout your onboarding process. It is essential to submit all these documents at least 3 weeks before the start of the semester. You can either scan and upload them via this dedicated link or deliver them in person to the OHR.

Please note that the highest earned degree or diploma must be authenticated by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE)* and delivered as an original hard copy to the OHR. This process can take some time, so we recommend starting the authentication process as soon as possible to avoid any delays in your onboarding.

• Passport photo
• Highest earned degree/diploma (authenticated from the MEHE*)
