HOW STUDENTS APPLY FOR A JOB
Students apply for positions online by selecting Student Employment Opportunities at
http://www.utica.edu/hr/studentemployment/
Students then sign in with their UC username and password
Browse positions by department
All the available jobs are listed with a job description. To being the application process,
they click “apply” in the right-hand corner.
 Note: Students can only apply for one job at a time (Students must have a minimum
of 2.0 GPA and have no financial hold on your account in order to apply.)
When a student applies, the following:
1. You can approve the student for the position. (an application notice comes to
your email)
a) If a student has been a approved and has never worked on campus before, they need
to bring completed employment paperwork and proper ID to the Office of Student
Employment in White Hall room 121, as soon as possible.
b) If a student has been approved and HAS worked previously, then they need to wait to
be processed by Becky in order to receive the job acceptance email.
2. You can deny the student, which then allows them to start the application
process again. Students are “locked” into the application until you accept or decline the
application-its important that you do this in a timely manner.
Students may have one primary job.

JOB ACCEPTANCE

You can either accept or decline students once they have applied for a
position. Please do this as quickly as possible as students are hung up in the
portal until you take action. They can only apply for one job at a time.

When you approve a student, they are notified by email that employment
paperwork needs to be completed. If they have worked in previous
consecutive semester, paperwork will not need to be resubmitted.

Once paperwork has been processed, Student Employment will activate the
student’s job and they will receive the JOB ACCEPTANCE email. This is a legal
document and must be completed by the student.

After a student completes the mandatory job acceptance, you will receive a
legal document called Notice of Employment via email that indicates the
student has been cleared for work.

Working a student before receiving the Notice of Employment is illegal. In
order for student paperwork to be processed, supervisors must accept a
student’s employment position.

Student timesheets will become available within 30 minutes of a student
completing the job acceptance in banner web. Using electronic time cards is a
condition of employment.

SCHEDULING

Since the student worker’s primary job is to succeed academically
as a Utica College student, we recommend that you limit
scheduling excessive hours during the academic semester.

Federal regulations require that the amount of work study money a
student earns be monitored and cannot exceed his/her approved
need. Similarly, payroll earnings must be monitored.

A bi-weekly earnings reports will be provided to help you track
earnings.

Student employees are NOT permitted to work once they have
exceeded their fund allotment. It is the supervisors responsibility to
remove them from the work schedule
Once funds are depleted
THE STUDENT MUST STOP WORKING!
