Student Employment

More than half of all students at Amherst work on campus at some time during the academic year. Our office is here to help you in a variety of ways, though students are responsible for finding their own jobs.

As we transition to Workday for electronic time recording, the availibility for departments to post jobs, and students to view and apply for available jobs is transitioning as well.  Please refer to the Workday section below for updated information on the process.

Information for Student Employees

From finding a position to understanding payroll regulations, student employees have a number of responsibilities to consider before and after they begin working on campus.

Information for Employers

Campus employers can take a number of steps to ensure that students are aware of positions on campus and have the information they need to make informed decisions regarding employment opportunities.

Information for International Students

F-1 Visa holders are eligible to work at any position on campus, but are NOT eligible to work at off-campus federal work-study sites. Consult the International Student Office about the possibility of working at one of the other Five Colleges.
