Student Employment (On-Campus Employment)

You may work on campus if you obtain proper authorization from EVS. The authorization must be obtained before any work begins, even if the work is required by your academic program. 

On-campus employment must: 

  • Be authorized in writing by EVS prior to the start of employment.  
  • Be part-time (20 hours or fewer per pay week) whenever classes are in session. 
    • You may work additional hours during official academic breaks during the semester (i.e. Spring Break). 
    • You may work additional hours between semesters if you will return to classes the following semester. 
    • Breakdown of allowed work hours. 
  • Cease once you complete your academic program. 
  • On-campus employment typically falls into one of three categories: 
    • Work on school premises, employed by the University of Florida (e.g., assistantships). 
    • Work on school premises, employed by on-campus commercial firms (e.g., eFollett/UF Bookstore and Chartwells/Florida Fresh; not W. W. Gay Construction). 
    • Work off campus that is treated as on-campus employment.  
      • This is typically limited to graduate student research. 
      • Activity must be an integral part of your academic program and either part of an established curriculum or contractually funded post-graduate research project. 

To request employment authorization, you must contact your EVS advisor.
