Student Employment

Harding University Student Employment offers students part-time jobs that are often related to their skills, academic or career fields, experiences, or interests. Job duties range from those requiring specialized skills to those only requiring a willingness to work. Working part-time allows a student to earn money for college expenses, establish a work record, develop skills that will be useful in a career, and provide an opportunity for interaction with faculty, staff, and fellow students.

In general, to be eligible for student employment, students must:

• Be currently enrolled in classes or registered for the next semester during periods of non-enrollment. New incoming students admitted to the university and who have paid the enrollment deposit for fall semester are eligible for student employment the preceding summer.
• Support the university's mission to provide quality education in a Christian environment.

Students can usually work an average of 20 hours per week (20 hours for most International Students) during periods of enrollment, and up to 40 hours per week during periods of non-enrollment (Christmas, Spring Break, and Summer Break).

The majority of student positions are paid an hourly wage. Because students are part-time temporary employees, they do not receive benefits such as paid holidays, health insurance, etc., but are covered under Worker’s Compensation.

Students are paid on a regular bi-weekly schedule.
