STUDENT EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Many full-time, undergraduate students qualify for Student Employment while attending RU. If you are interested in working, please review this information so you are prepared when you arrive. Please note that you must bring original forms of identification with you to campus so as not to delay your start date.

Work Authorization Forms

  • To qualify for student employment, you must file a FASFA and sign for and accept Campus Employment or Federal Work Study as part of your financial aid package. Accepting one of these options will result in a Work Authorization Form. You must get a Work Authorization Card from Student Administrative Services (1st floor, Nelson Hall) prior to interviewing.
  • A work authorization form must be provided to each supervisor at the time of your interview.

All International Students must bring their Visa and any other related documents.
