Student Employee - New Hire Paperwork
Welcome to the largest group of students on campus: the on-campus student employees! We are excited for you and your new position where you will get involved on campus while gaining personal and professional skills.
At UNI, student employment is more than a paycheck. From doing research between classes next to an accomplished professor, or leading an exercise class to keep your fellow Panthers healthy or assisting with an event for a national leader visiting campus. These are just a few of the 200+ unique jobs at UNI that over 2,000 student employees work in to prepare themselves for life after graduation.
Students at UNI can work up to 20 hours per week (40 hrs during breaks). The vast majority of the positions do not require Federal Work Study.
