Non-Hourly Student Employment

Applies to all students paid via 61452 (undergraduate) budget funding who perform paid services to the university.

In order to work on campus as a student employee, the student must be enrolled in at least one class during the semester in which the student is requesting to work. If a student employee withdraws from the University, he/she must cease working on the actual date of the official withdrawal.

 

Consistent with established State and Federal employment guidelines, North Carolina A&T is committed to providing meaningful employment opportunities to its student population. The Office of Staffing Services in the Division of Human Resources is responsible for monitoring the hiring process. All student positions should be advertised in AggieLink. To create a posting, contact the Office of Career Services to obtain credentials. All hiring managers/department heads/supervisors must follow established guidelines and maintain fair and equitable standards in all hiring decisions. Additionally, students working more than 5 hrs a day must have a thirty-minute break.

The student’s first responsibility and priority is their academic success. Therefore, students may not work more than 20 hours per week during fall and spring semesters, and are not permitted to work during class time. Students are allowed to work a maximum of 40 hours per week for Summer Employment (residential and non-residential). However, students may not work during class time during the summer if enrolled in summer session classes. These same guidelines apply to foreign national students with the exception of summer enrollment. A foreign national student maintaining enrollment during the summer is limited to 20 hours per week for employment. Students are not allowed to work when the University is officially closed.
