Registration Requirements

A student employee will be defined as a "Sinclair degree-seeking or certificate-seeking student in good standing who is taking 6 credit hours or more during the current quarter". Audit classes will not count toward the six-hour requirement. This applies during all quarters including the summer quarter. Human Resources will monitor status (student in good standing) and credit hours each quarter. The determining day for enrollment will be the 14th day of each quarter. Withdrawal after the 14th day from courses does not disqualify the student unless the withdrawal takes the student out of good standing. This requirement applies to existing student workers as well.

(**Effective July 1, 2007, all students must apply for student employment for the following academic year. In other words, student workers can no longer be automatically carried over into the following academic year without reapplication and rehire by the department.)

Work Hours

The regular student employee is able to work up to 20 hours per week while attending classes. A student may never work more than 20 hours per week. There are no exceptions to the 20 hour rule. 

Wages

Effective Jan 1, 2009, all student employees will be paid a single wage -- $7.30 per hour. This will be in compliance with the Ohio Minimum Wage increase as of Jan. 1, 2009.
