Hiring On-Campus Student Employees
Â鶹ÒùÔº must meet certain requirements in order to be eligible to work in a student job class.
- If you're looking to fill a position with a student employee, the first step is to post the job announcement on Handshake.
- Student Employment reviews and monitors the eligibility of all employees who are currently active in student job classes on HCM. Only current degree-seeking CU Boulder students qualify for student jobs either on main campus or through continuing education.
Work-Study Â鶹ÒùÔº:
- During the academic year, undergraduates must be enrolled in at least 6 credit hours per semester in order to receive work-study and to work in a student job class. Graduate students must be enrolled in at least 4 credit hours in order to receive work-study, and at least 3 credit hours to work in a student job class.
- During the summer, students must be enrolled in summer OR enrolled in the previous spring semester and upcoming fall semester in order to work in a student job class.
- To work in a student job class during the summer, work-study students must have both a current and upcoming year financial aid application on file with the Office of Financial Aid AND demonstrate financial need by the start of summer term.
International & Other CU Campus Â鶹ÒùÔº:
- Contact the Office of International Education at 303-492-8057 regarding specific questions on immigration laws that must be followed to hire international students. They cannot have work-study or work more than 20 hours a week during fall and spring semesters, and no more than 40 hours a week during summer.
- Â鶹ÒùÔº attending other CU campuses are eligible for hire on the Boulder Campus as long as they are enrolled in the number of credit hours specified above. They will, however, have to pay into the student retirement program if they are enrolled on one CU campus but working at another CU campus.
