Policies
Student Hourly Employee Work Policy
Student employees working for CU are limited to a maximum of 25 hours per week, or 50 hours per bi-weekly pay period, during the fall and spring semesters and to 40 hours per week (or 80 hours per bi-weekly pay period) during the summer. See more policy details.
Graduate & International Â鶹ÒùÔº
Existing policies which apply to graduate and international students will continue to limit them to 20 hours per week during the academic year. During campus breaks, supervisors may submit the Exception Request Form to request more hours only if there is a business or academic purpose. Requests will not be approved based on a student’s desire to work more hours. The policy does not affect students working in non-University off-campus jobs, though we encourage students to prioritize their academics first when considering outside work commitments.
