Requesting and Reinstating a Student Employee

To fill a student employee position within a department, simply send an email to the Student Placement Office with a brief description that can be posted on the "Finding a Job" website.  This will be posted and interested students can bring updated resumes or whatever the request is to the department.

During your initial interview with a student, determine if the student can meet your long-term needs. Make sure to emphasize that the student’s education comes first. If students are hired to work specific, difficult-to-fill hours (mornings, evenings, lunch coverage, etc.), they should understand that they will be expected to schedule their future classes so that they continue to work these hours. (You are under no obligation to continue their employment if they cannot cover the hours they were hired to work.)

It is important that even though this program is known as a “Work-Study” program, it does not mean that students are allowed to ONLY study while at work. It means that they are being PAID to work and gain valuable work experience. Supervisors are asked to make sure that there is plenty of projects for the students to do while at work OR see if there is another department that could use some assistance from your student employees.

Towards the end of the semester, it is important to let the Student Placement office know which students will be returning for the next semester.  Authorizations need to be completed for every semester.  If you have questions, please contact the Student Placement office in room 106.
