Student Employment
Student employment is coordinated through the Center for Career Development.

Students with Federal Work Study awards, a component of a financial aid package, are extended priority hiring for most campus positions. Incoming students accepting Federal Work Study funding are assigned employment based on skills and interests identified on financial aid survey information.

Remaining positions will be listed online at kconnect, which incoming students may access once they receive their electronic-mail usernames. Once students arrive on campus, they may apply directly to campus departments for any listings remaining available.

Most job offers are extended for one academic year, with re-employment at the option of both the student and the department. Campus departments place a high value on the contributions made by their student employees. Even though most departments can be flexible to accommodate different work schedules during particularly intense academic weeks, students are expected to negotiate these accommodations in advance.

Reliability and commitment to work responsibilities are expectations of all campus employers. Students not meeting these obligations may be released from their work assignments, even if the assignment is a Federal Work Study placement.
