Student Employment Program

A student enrolled at the university with at least six (6) credits as an undergraduate student, or five (5) credits as a graduate student, or in the final semester of a degree program registered for all classes required for program completion. The student must regularly attend classes or meet the intent to enroll criteria which means 1) a current student has registered for the next semester, or 2) a new or returning student has current admission status for the next term.

Most on-campus student jobs will be posted on Handshake. Once you’ve logged in and navigated to the Jobs section, click on the On-Campus filter at the top of the page. If you’re interested in something specific and you don’t see it posted, contact that department directly to find out if and when they are hiring for the job you’re interested in.

For additional information about finding and applying for jobs, see the Getting a Part-Time Job Handout.

Each Boise State department does their own hiring, and this happens at different times for different departments. Because job postings are coming and going all the time, make sure to check Handshake at least once a week. For jobs starting in the fall, most are posted in July or August. For spring, jobs start appearing before Thanksgiving and continue through the start of the semester. Some openings do come up mid-semester, though not as many.

There is no standard application for on-campus jobs; each job has its own application procedure. Make sure to carefully read and follow the application instructions in the job description. If it asks
you to apply through Handshake, do so by clicking the Apply button, then attaching the documents requested in the job description.
