Below are our student job classifications, working titles and pay ranges (effective July 1, 2024).

Using Midpoints in Salary Ranges: We recommend that you start a new hire between the minimum and the midpoint in the appropriate job code. This will leave enough room in the pay range for merit and longevity increases in the case than an employee continues to do the same job function over time.
