Student Employment Expectations

Balancing Work and Academics

• Students should not commit to more hours than their schedule allows. On-campus employment should balance well with coursework and extracurricular activities.
• Students should not exceed 20 hours per week. The recommended range is 10–15 hours per week.

Attendance

• Students are expected to arrive on time for scheduled shifts and notify their supervisor in advance if they need to miss work or will be late.

Use of Work Time

• Some on-campus positions include downtime that allows students to focus on schoolwork. However, students should not conduct personal business (e.g., cell phone use, personal emails) during their assigned shift.

Timesheets

• Timesheets must be completed honestly and accurately and signed by both the student and supervisor. Time needs to be submitted on the actual day worked, it can't be added to a different day.
• Timesheets must be submitted on time — refer to the Student Employment Calendar for deadlines.
• Late submissions will delay pay.
