Student employment is a form of institutional financial assistance. You must be a continuing Ball State University degree-seeking student to work on campus. You must also be eligible to work in the United States. As a student employee, you are limited to part-time work, in part because of federal tax regulation. Still, the primary focus for the Ball State University student should be to pursue academic studies.
During the fall and spring semesters, you may be eligible for on-campus student employment if you are enrolled at least half-time (6 hours undergraduate, 5 hours graduate) each term that you want to work.
During the summer, you may be eligible for on-campus student employment if any of the following apply:
1. You are enrolled at least half-time for the following fall semester.
2. You are a new student and have graduated from high school, been admitted to the university, and paid your enrollment deposit.
3. You will be graduating from the university at the end of summer and are enrolled in summer classes. You may work until the last day of your summer classes.
You are not eligible for on-campus student employment if any of the following apply:
1. You are not eligible to work in the United States.
2. You do not have a United States Social Security number assigned to you by the Social Security Administration.
3. You do not meet the enrollment requirements mentioned above.
4. You have withdrawn from the university or have been academically disqualified.
5. You have graduated and are not currently working toward a Ball State University degree.
6. The Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid has notified you that your financial aid prohibits you from working.
7. You are a guest, special or non-degree, high school, auditing, or continuing education student.
You may not begin to work or must quit working on campus immediately if any of the preceding conditions apply to you.
