in front of BuchtelStudent Employment

Students who work on campus part-time adjust quickly to college life, learn valuable skills like communication and time management, make friends, earn money, and gain references for your future career search.

There are three types of jobs for students:

  • On-campus, where you work for a department at UA.
  • Off-campus, where you work for an independent business.
  • Federal Work Study, for students who are awarded Federal Work Study in their financial aid package.

Employers benefit by having consistent workers who live on or near campus. Student workers can help you fill valuable positions in your department and lend support to the tasks that help make our campus run.
