To be eligible for and to maintain student employment, students must:
Be enrolled as a student at KSU.
Be in good academic and disciplinary standing.
Meet the specific qualifications for the available position.
Final selection may be based on factors including financial need, qualifications, and GPA.
Student employees are generally limited to working a maximum of 20 hours per week during the fall and spring semesters.
A student's work schedule must not conflict with their scheduled academic classes or negatively impact their academic progress.
A student may not hold more than one student position at the same time.
For example, a student may not serve as a Resident Assistant (RA) and hold an hourly student position at the same time.
Stipends may not be used to compensate students for duties that should be paid on an hourly basis.
For example, an Undergraduate Research Assistant (URA) is a position classified as an hourly position, therefore, the position may not be changed to a stipend.
