Student Employment

UIW students may apply online for any available postings. Working as a student employee is an excellent way to make money while attending classes, as well as, gaining valuable work experience.

All students, including international students on F-1 or J-1 Visas, may only work up to 20 hours a week while classes are in session and during breaks.

If you are interested in the Federal Work Study Program which is different from Student Employment, please visit the Financial Aid Office for detailed information.
