Student Employment

Enrollment Requirements

Academic Year

To be eligible to work on campus during the regular academic year (fall and spring semesters), a student must be enrolled for six (6) or more semester hours of credit per term. International students must be enrolled full-time (12 hrs. for undergraduate students or 9 hrs. for graduate students), unless otherwise cleared by the International Student Advisor/U.S. Immigration for less than full-time enrollment, to maintain their status in the United States. Audit classes do not count.  All students must be enrolled in at least six (6) or more semester hours to be eligible for student employment, unless they are a graduating student with only a limited number of hours remaining to meet graduation requirements (in which case prior approval of Human Resources is required).

Summer

To be eligible to work summer, a student either:

  1. Must have been enrolled for six (6) or more hours during the previous spring semester and be preregistered for fall at º£½ÇÆƽâ°æ for six (6) hours, OR
  2. Must be accepted for admission/re-entry to º£½ÇÆƽâ°æ for the following fall semester and be pre-registered for at least six (6) hours, OR
  3. Must be enrolled at º£½ÇÆƽâ°æ for a minimum of three (3) hours during each summer session while they are employed.
  4. International students are required to be enrolled three (3) hours each session during summer or pre- registered for full-time for fall.

Note: During summer sessions, student employees may work a maximum of 28 hours per week if enrolled for less than six (6) hours during the current summer session. 

Break Periods

During break periods, students may work up to 28 hours per week. The break periods are:

  1. Period of time at the end of the spring semester and before summer session (must have been enrolled for six or more hours for the spring semester or be eligible for summer employment).
  2. Period of time after summer session and before fall semester begins (see summer eligibility above).
  3. Thanksgiving break (must be enrolled six (6) hours for the fall semester).
  4. Break between fall and spring semesters (must have been enrolled for six (6) or more hours for the fall semester or pre-registered for at least six (6) hours for spring semester).
  5. Spring break (must be enrolled at least six (6) hours for the spring semester).

Students who graduate are only eligible for regular student employment during the break period following their graduation. (Federal Work-Study cannot be used.) They must have been registered for at least six (6) hours their last semester. They are not eligible for further employment unless they have been accepted into the º£½ÇÆƽâ°æ Graduate School and are pre-registered. International students are not permitted to work after graduation unless they are continuing study in another º£½ÇÆƽâ°æ program, can show acceptance for the new program, and are pre-registered for the next regular semester.

Students MUST stop working IMMEDIATELY if they withdraw from school, cancel their registration, or reduce their credit hours below the minimum enrollment requirements for student employment.
