Student Employment Opportunities

If you are interested in a student job, there are many opportunities to choose from. UMD offers over 1,200 student employment positions each year, and there are a wide variety of positions available both on and off campus for students who are interested in working.

There are two types of student employment at UMD:

• work-study employment
• miscellaneous student employment

The online posting for each available student job will specify whether it is a work-study or miscellaneous position.

Work Study

Work-study is a favorable type of student employment. If you have work-study, which is a type of financial aid award, your earnings under the program are subtracted out of your overall income when you complete your FAFSA each year. Under the work-study program, your employer receives partial reimbursement from the program for your earnings. Because of this, many employers prefer to hire students who have work-study. Some employers hire only work-study students, creating more employment opportunities for students that have a work-study award.

Visit our work-study page for more information on how to qualify for and/or receive work-study. You must have a work-study award as part of your financial aid package to apply for work-study positions

Miscellaneous Student Employment

Miscellaneous student employment opportunities are available to students that are not awarded work-study. There are many jobs available under the miscellaneous student employment program, so there are still opportunities to work if you do not have a work-study award.

Finding A Job

All student job postings at UMD are listed online. To search for student employment positions, go to http://www.d.umn.edu/umdhr/studentjobs/. If you find a job that you are interested in, you must complete an online employment application and follow any instructions that are listed in the posting.

If you have work-study, you are able to apply for ANY student job posting, even those that are not specifically posted as work-study positions. However, if you do not have work-study, you are not eligible to apply for a work-study job and can apply only for miscellaneous student job postings.

NOTE: You must maintain at least half-time enrollment in order to work as a student employee.

Summer Student Employment

Work-study and miscellaneous student employment positions are also available over the summer. To qualify for summer employment, you must have been enrolled at least half-time during spring semester and at least half-time for the upcoming fall semester.
