A part-time job can be a valuable and rewarding experience. More than 900 PSU students work on campus. There are a wide variety of student employment positions. Some of these include: student trainers, computer technicians, clerical assistants, photographers, tutors, lab assistants, lifeguards, research assistants, managers, reporters/writers, cashiers, painters, secretaries, custodians, intramural officials, and many more!
Students must be enrolled full-time during the academic year to be appointed to a student position. During the academic year, the full-time student is enrolled in at least six (6) credit hours. Students not enrolled in summer school may work as student employees provided they have applied and been accepted for the fall semester. Full-time status for the summer session is three (3) credit hours or more. University policy limits a student to 20 hours of on-campus employment per week when classes are in session.
Some part-time positions require students to demonstrate financial need (Federal Work Study), while others are open to all students (regular state employment). Most student employment positions are paid the federal minimum wage (currently $5.15 per hour). Students are eligible, however, to receive a .25 cent raise for each year of service (up to $5.90 per hour). The department has discretion to award the pay increase to eligible student employees.
In addition to the on-campus employment positions, the Student Employment office also provides information regarding job opportunities off-campus. These off-campus positions can be viewed within the Career Services Online program. The program also provides students an opportunity to participate in various off-campus jobs such as community service projects, childcare, literacy training, and education (tutoring).
