Student Employment Handbook:

Concurrent Employee Status Prohibited

Students can NOT work as BOTH a University employee and a student employee at the same time. Employees of Kent State University, full-time or part-time, are NOT eligible to participate in the Student Employment Program.

Graduate Students As Student Employees

Graduate students MAY work on campus as student employees, provided they maintain at least half-time enrollment (4 credit hours) during Fall and Spring semesters.

A graduate student who has been awarded a full-time graduate assistantship MAY NOT accept any other paid university employment during the period of the appointment (with the exception of break periods).

A graduate student who has been awarded a part-time graduate assistantship MAY accept a student employment position during the period of the assistantship and must adhere to the half-time enrollment policy.

Further questions regarding graduate assistantship employment policies should be directed to the Office of the Provost, Academic Personnel (330-672-2220).

Nepotism

There is no objection to the appointment of multiple members of families to University positions regardless of relationship so long as one family member is not in a position to influence a decision in favor of or against another. Any decisions involving possible direct benefit or detriment to the student employee shall be made by the Director of the Career Services Center, the appointing authority for student employment. Refer to the University Policy Register Rule 3342-6-04.2.
