Students seeking on-campus or off-campus employment should access job vacancies and apply for positions per the instructions on Blackboard. New students are provided access to Blackboard only after they have paid the tuition deposit and pre-registered for classes. Jobs in the local community are open to all interested students; however, some on-campus positions are limited to students who qualify for the Federal Work Study program. When carrying a full course load, a student should limit his/her employment hours. Most campus positions require 6-10 hours per week. Click here to view the Student Employment Handbook.

Resident assistant positions are applied for through the Office of Student Development. Department assistants are appointed by the academic dean upon recommendation by the department chairperson. These positions are usually filled by upperclassmen.

When a student is hired, he/she must present his/her original U.S. Passport, Social Security Card or Birth Certificate. (Faxes and copies are not acceptable by federal law). The student employee must present one of these essential documents in addition to a picture I.D. or he/she will not be permitted to be hired or begin working. All student employees are paid through electronic transfer to a savings or checking account at virtually any bank in the United States. Free checking is also available to ONU students at several local banks.

Questions should be directed to: Mary Anderson, director of career services; manderso@olivet.edu or Cathy Lundmark, department secretary; clundmar@olivet.edu.
