On-Campus Student Employment
On-Campus Student Employment is one of the four classification types of student employment. To be eligible, a student must meet one of the following criteria:
- Enrolled and taking classes during the semester they are employed; or
- Not enrolled in the current semester, but was enrolled in the previous semester and will be enrolled in the following semester (including summer).
New Auburn University Students
Newly enrolled students may begin work as an on-campus student employee as early as one week prior to the first day of classes.
If an earlier start date is needed, the department must hire the individual as a Temporary Employment Services (TES) employee and transition them to a student employee role at the appropriate time.
Auburn University Graduates
Student employees become ineligible for on-campus employment immediately after the date of commencement.
Departments that wish to continue employment after graduation may do so through TES.
International Students
International students may hold on-campus positions in accordance with their visa requirements.
Students are responsible for understanding their visa status to ensure compliance. For questions, contact the Office of International Programs at (334) 844-5001 or email intledu@auburn.edu.
Auburn Montgomery (AUM) Students
AUM students meet the definition of student employees and should not be hired as TES employees. For questions, contact the Student & Temporary Employment Unit at (334) 844-1671.
