Student Employment

Student Employment serves currently enrolled Northeastern students who are seeking part-time, seasonal, temporary, and on-campus employment. Job opportunities such as these assist students in meeting college expenses and/or gaining career-related experience. All job opportunities received by Student Employment are for currently enrolled students meeting Minimum Standards of Academic Progress.

Eligibility for certain on-campus jobs, such as those funded by the Federal Work-Study Program, are based on demonstrated financial need resulting from an approved financial aid application. Other on-campus jobs (Student Aide) are open to all students who are enrolled for a minimum of six credit hours (half time) per semester. To ensure no delay in pay students should not begin work until all hiring forms have been submitted and processed through the Student Employment Office.

All jobs received by Student Employment are posted online at Handshake. Other useful information can be found on the Student Employment website. A limited number of job openings are posted on bulletin boards just north of the entrance to Enrollment Services (D-120).
