Office of Student Employment

Seeking a new or first position on campus? 

• At this time, due to budget constraints, the university has lifted the hiring freeze for any work-study funded positions. Those students who can see an “SU” or “AY 20-21” Federal Work-Study Award showing in their financial view in One.IU.edu are eligible for hire at this time and can begin to search for positions.
  • To understand your IUPUI financial view go here.
• We encourage all students who are not work-study eligible to finalize their resumes in preparation for job searching when the hiring freeze is lifted. Need job search assistance for part-time jobs in the Indy area? We can assist you in getting started. See information below on how to schedule appointments with office staff.

Returning to the same position for fall semester from spring 2020?

• Reach out to your supervisor to ensure that there is still an employment opportunity available. Budget constraints and changes to campus services may have impacted the number and types of positions in departments.   
• Returning students should check to see if they have a work-study award on their financial view and report to their supervisor those findings. Print off a copy of the FAN letter to provide to your supervisor as verification of the work-study award on your account.

Human Resources (HR) has worked through policies and procedures surrounding President McRobbie’s announcement on March 23, 2020, surrounding pay for university employees and university operations. It should be noted that student employees are considered temporary employees by the university. Guidelines, pay codes, and information on how this pay will be determined and processed is now available. Please stay in touch with your supervisor for updates and refer to this HR link for needed processes and FAQs.

Things to know:

• Each temporary employee record is treated independently when determining COVID pay.
• COVID pay was effective for time forward from 3/23/2020 and until 6/30/2020.
• Specific questions should be sent to AskHR@iu.edu.
