Human Resources

Before finding campus employment, students must be authorized to work by the Human Resources Office.  Students must follow the Student Employment Process to obtain a Certificate of Work Authorization from the Human Resources Office.

• As part of the robust experiential learning opportunities available at Muskingum, the University offers students a multitude of paid student employment opportunities in various campus departments through its Federal Work Study Program and the Muskies Work! Program.
• Federal Work Study is a government program that provides compensation to students with demonstrated financial need through part-time employment opportunities.  Students who are not eligible for the Federal Work Study Program may seek employment through the Muskies Work! Program.  Under the Muskies Work! Program, non-work study students may be hired when there are no work study-eligible students available or when a non-work study student has skills, abilities, or experience that the hiring department needs but the work study-eligible students do not have.
• Students choose their employment opportunities from a list of positions available in the library, mailroom, academic departments, physical plant, and other campus offices. 
• Most students work 5-10 hours per week, and they may not work more than 20 hours per week.  Student employees earn minimum wage.
