Benefits of working on campus


So you're needing a job but you're not sure where to look. Well why not look right here at UVU? Below are just a few of the benefits you can receive:

Student jobs give you:
  • no commute
  • flexible with time schedule (aka they understand you're a student)
  • You know what is happening on campus
Part time jobs give you
  • 3 credits per semester

Sounds pretty good so far right? So the question now is what are the different job types offered at UVU and what is best you?.

Lets help clear things up:

Student Jobs

To qualify as a student employee at UVU, you must be currently enrolled as a student. Student employees are allowed one semester break immediately following two consecutive semesters of attendance. For example, if you attend both Fall and Spring semesters you could take a summer semester enrollment break and still qualify for a student position. Student employees may work up to 28 hours per week. International students are allowed a maximum of 20 hours. 

UVU Federal Work Study

Federal Work study (FWS) is a work program available for qualified students as part of their financial aid package. Wages are earned through employment at an hourly rate, based on the job duties. Students awarded work study through Financial Aid must have a Referral Form (issued by Financial Aid) before applying and interviewing for works study jobs. Contact the Financial Aid office for eligibility and referral form questions. 

International Student Employment Program (ISEP)

ISEP is an on-campus work program that provides international student funding to be earned through employment at an hourly rate (similar to Federal Work study). The application issued through the International office and is available for qualified students. Once a student is awarded ISEP, a referral form will be issued along with access to the UVU work study job postings to apply for jobs. Students who do not have an ISEP Referral Form are not eligible to apply or interview for ISEP/Financial Aid Work Study jobs. Enrolled International Students may work a maximum of 20 hours.
