Student Employment

Students who want to supplement their educational resources may do so through on- or off-campus part-time employment.

Part-Time Student Employment

Students may apply for consideration for on-campus employment by various University offices and departments.  Student employment on a part-time basis by the University is generally limited to 19 hours per week. Students may learn of both off- and on-campus employment opportunities through the Mays Center, and more specifically, through Handshake, an online jobs database curated for our students and alumni.  Handshake is accessible through your JagWire account. Generally, to be eligible for student employment, a student must be enrolled in a minimum of six credit hours during the current semester.

Student employees must be in good academic standing and maintain an academic record acceptable to the department head for the employing department, including a cumulative grade point average of no less than 2.0.

Graduate Assistantships

A graduate assistant who the University employs should be enrolled as a half-time graduate student (6 semester credit hours during the long term and six semester credit hours during the summer) and must work 20 hours per week.  The assistantship will be terminated if the graduate assistant drops below the full-time course load requirement.  All graduate assistants must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.0, be in good academic standing, and be current on all financial obligations to the university. Students may learn of graduate assistantship openings through job postings created by Human Resources.  For additional information on graduate assistantships, please refer to the Graduate Assistant Handbook.
