Eligibility Requirements for Student Assistants (Workers)

1. A student must be in good academic and judicial standing with the University.
2. A student may work up to 20 hours per week during the fall and spring semesters.
3. A student must be enrolled in six (6) credit hours during the fall and spring semesters in order to be eligible to work as a student assistant at ISU. The only exception to this rule is when a student is enrolled in his/her last semester of studies prior to graduating. These students are allowed to take fewer than six (6) credit hours. If a student should drop classes which would put him/her below six (6) credit hours during a semester, the student will be ineligible to work for the University unless the student is in the last semester of studies.
4. Students may work up to 37.5 hours per week during specific times (summer, winter recess, spring break, finals weeks) and not be enrolled in classes, but must be enrolled in classes the following fall semester.
5. Students that work more than one on-campus job are responsible for tracking their hours.  Students should never exceed 37.5 hours in a single week.
6. Upon graduation, a student may work up to two (2) weeks after graduation if the student is not pursuing graduate studies at ISU during the fall semester.
7. A freshman student enrolled in classes for the fall semester may work up to 37.5 hours during the summer prior to the fall semester.
8. U.S. Citizens Only:  Should a student want to work more than 20 hours per week during the fall and spring semesters, the student must e-mail marilyn.heaton@indstate.edu with an explanation of why he/she wants to work more than 20 hours per week and include a copy of his/her DARS.
