Concord provides employment opportunities for students who are U.S. citizens and non-citizens, who possess a valid work authorization.  The Student Payroll Office is here to guide student employees through the required process verifying the students’ eligibility to work.  This process must be completed prior to the student performing any work on-campus.  All students desiring on-campus employment should review the Finding an On-Campus Job, Student Employment Policy and Procedures and Student Employee sections. 

Prior to requesting a student position as instructed in the Student Employees section, students desiring to work on-campus should first locate the position they wish to fill.  Students can search for employment opportunities at CU Jobs.  Students can be employed either through the Federal Work-Study Program or through the University’s CU Connect Program.  Students who have been awarded Federal Work-Study as a part of their financial aid package will see the award on their official Award Letter from the Financial Aid Office.  Students who have not been awarded Federal Work-Study are only eligible to apply for CU Connect positions.

The Student Employment Handbook applies to all student employees.  All prospective student employees are encouraged to review the handbook carefully before requesting an on-campus position.

All student workers must read and sign the Student Employee Supplemental Form.  Please return the signed form to the Payroll Office.
