Posting Sponsorship Designation

Will Employer-based sponsorship be considered for this
position?

Yes

Posting Designation

Employer-based sponsorship may be considered for this position,
subject to institutional review and applicable law.

Work Authorization & Sponsorship for Job Posting

Employment at Coastal Carolina University is contingent upon
authorization to work in the United States. CCU may consider
employer-based visa sponsorship for certain positions; however,
sponsorship is discretionary, not guaranteed, and subject to legal,
financial, and institutional requirements. CCU rarely sponsors
part-time, temporary, staff or non-tenure-track roles and will not
sponsor H-1B petitions when the federally required $100,000 fee
applies.

If the position is a non-tenure track (Lecturer, instructor and
visiting faculty) position that would not typically allow for
sponsorship but the department wants to seek approval for an
exception to allow for sponsorship, a special assessment will need
to be submitted through DocuSign and submitted for approval before
the postings is initiated and submitted for approvals in PA. A copy
of the approved assessment will need to be attached to the posting
request in PA. Cassie will provide more info on the process for
requesting an exception and the assessment approvals.

We will schedule a meeting this week to discuss this more in
detail, especially the needs assessment piece in Docusign for an
exception request but I wanted to get this much to you ASAP as PA
has pushed this to the live site already so you should already see
the info in the pending postings out there now.
