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. 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.
- 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 here on how to schedule appointments with office staff.
