Students may be permitted to work outside of Dining Services with prior approval. In most cases, a student will be required to work 6 hours per week in Dining Services.

  • The supervisor of the hiring department must request the approval.
  • No First Year student may be hired by a department until an approval has been received.
  • Exemptions to work outside of Dining Services must be renewed each semester and are granted on a per semester basis.
