How to Apply
Students must qualify for employment each academic year. To be employed as a student you must:
- Submit the student employment application. This must be done for each academic year that employment is desired.
- Be enrolled for 6 hours or more while employed.
- Be making satisfactory academic progress for financial aid purposes as defined in the university catalog, or be approved for financial aid probation.
It is also to your advantage to establish priority eligibility for hiring by filing the FAFSA.
It is the responsibility of the student to locate a job suitable to their needs and experience. Upon completion of the student employment application, copies of the application will be forwarded to the departments that you indicate. You will then need to make an appointment with that department supervisor for an interview. Once you are hired, you are required to provide proof of eligibility to work in the United States (e.g. a birth certificate, social security card, passport, or alien registration card). You must also complete the
I-9 Form, W-4 Form, and the direct deposit authorization form. These may be obtained on-line or from InfoCentral or the Human Resources Office.
Most student positions require that you work 5 to 10 hours per week while classes are in session. No student is allowed to work more than 20 hours total per week. There are also positions that have an irregular schedule where you may work as needed. With only a few exceptions, student employees are paid the federal minimum wage.
When your supervisor's request to hire you has been approved and you have your application and payroll forms on file in the Human Resources Office, you will be set up to do time entry online.
