Student Employment

Welcome to Student Employment at UD!

Student Employment is an excellent learning opportunity for students. Students work on campus throughout the course of each year in positions such as: Office Assistants, Capp Bar Baristas, Research Assistants, Tutors, and more.

The University of Dallas employs currently enrolled students through one of two types of employment: regular hourly student positions and federal work study* positions. Minimum pay is $8.00 an hour, but positions may start at a higher rate depending on the job and the student’s qualifications. Students may work up to 28 hours per week; however, international students may work only up to 20 hours a week.

*Work Study is awarded through Financial Aid to eligible students. Work study is a needs-based award, and completion of a FAFSA is required to determine eligibility.


Some on-campus contractors, such as Aramark (Cafeteria), Follet Bookstore, and HES (facilities) offer positions for students; however, employment is offered directly through each of them.

The Office of Personal Career Development (OPCD) posts off-campus employment opportunities for students. 


Current students and student employee supervisors, visit MyUD for student employment forms and resources, including UD Blue Board. 


 

Student Employment FAQs

 

The majority of on-campus positions require a work study award. You will need to check the UD Blue Board to see a list of available positions, which is avaiable on the UD Intranet. 

Once you've received confirmation that you have been hired by a supervisor and you have never worked on campus, you will need to complete new hire paperwork which is available on the UD intranet and in the Office of Human Resources.

You cannot begin working until new hire paperwork is completed and submitted to Human Resources. The paperwork can be obtained within MyUD or outside the Office of Human Resources (located in Cardinal Farrell Hall, suite 120).

Work study is awarded through Financial Aid to eligible students. Work study is a need-based award, and completion of a FAFSA is required to determine eligibility.

Once you've been awarded work study, you will have a limited amount of time to obtain a job before your award is cancelled. For current deadline dates, contact the Office of Financial Aid or the Office of Human Resources.

If you have been offered a work study award, it will show on your financial aid letter which can be found in your UD online student account.
