For Faculty

Before you hire a student…

The first step for faculty members to take before hiring a student is to determine the title of the position that the student will be working under.

• If the position title is: Student Assistant, Teaching Assistant, Lab Assistant, Research Assistant, or Technical Writing Assistant, please click here.
• If the position is not listed above, please look at the View Only: Student Position Descriptions link located in the left menu bar of the Student Employment homepage. This link lists all of the existing student positions within each department on campus. If you know that the position has been previously established, please fill out a Hiring Form for the student you have hired to fill the position.
• If the position is new, you’re next step is to complete a Create New Position (On Campus) form, which will provide details about the job responsibilities and the prerequisites that applicants should have. Student Employment personnel will review the position description and determine an appropriate pay grade.

Please Note: Before hiring a student, both faculty and staff should ask to see the student’s Work Authorization Card (WAC). This card verifies that the student is eligible to work on campus.
