Employment Opportunities at RU

On-Campus Employment/Federal Work Study

Current students may apply for on-campus employment. International students and students eligible to receive Federal Work Study receive first priority for available positions; however, work-study eligibility does not guarantee employment. Once hired, students are required to complete paperwork, including a student employment contract, with the Human Resources office before employment begins. Students are also encouraged to complete a Student Payroll Deduction form to have their earnings applied directly to their student accounts. Job descriptions and the student employment application are available on the student portal. Those interested in learning more should review the Student Worker FAQ’s on the student portal or contact the Human Resources office. Students on Academic/Financial Aid Suspension (see the “Academics” section of this catalog) are ineligible for on-campus employment.  For additional information on the work study program, please review the work study section on the student portal.

Off-Campus Employment

Area businesses often seek Rochester University students for part-time jobs. Full-time students are encouraged to work no more than 20 hours per week.
