How Many Hours May Student Employees Work?
Current University policy states that students employed on campus may work up to 26 hours per week during the academic year - 20 hours per week for international students. Students may work a maximum of 8 hours in one day. Students may not exceed this limitation by working at 2 or more jobs on campus. OVERTIME MAY NOT BE SCHEDULED FOR STUDENTS. Should a situation occur where a student exceeds the limit, the supervisor will be held responsible for that action. Students may hold more than 1 job, provided they do not exceed the 26 hour per week limit, or for international students the 20 hour per week limit, in keeping with federal guidelines.

Students, including International students, may work up to 40 hours per week during summer and scheduled breaks between semesters as well as during Spring Break.

The laws regulating unemployment compensation and the Federal Aid regulations make it imperative that student employees maintain student status every semester they are employed. SE&CS will identify students in violation of the Student Employment Eligibility Policy. Students in violation of this policy will be terminated immediately.
