Student Employment Programs
Student Assistant
All students enrolled in at least six (6) hours of courses during a long semester at SFA are eligible to apply for Student Assistant positions. For summer employment, intent to attend the next fall semester is all that is required.
Student Assistants may work up to 20 hours per week if enrolled in a summer session; they may work up to 40 hours per week if not enrolled.
Student Assistants are paid by the hour or commission on a bi-monthly basis.
Federal Work-Study
The Federal Work-Study program provides jobs for first-time undergraduates and graduate students who receive Work-Study financial aid, awarded from the Office of Financial Aid.
Being awarded Work-Study does not guarantee employment to a student. However, it does increase the number of positions for which the student is able to apply.
Work-Study student employees:
- must be either citizens or permanent residents of the United States; international students are not eligible.
- are required to maintain six (6) academic course hours during each of the regular semesters they are working and three (3) hours during the summer.
- may work up to 20 hours per week while classes are in session.
- are paid by the hour on a bi-monthly basis; no Work-Study student may be paid by commission or fee.
Graduate Assistant
Graduate Assistant employment and records are maintained in the Office of Human Resources.
International Students
International students, with an F-1 Visa, are eligible to work on-campus as Student Assistants only.
International students must have a Social Security number issued by the Social Security office. Social Security cards are issued after employment has been obtained.
International students must satisfy the following requirements before they can be processed for payroll:
- Apply for and obtain a valid Social Security number from the Social Security office.
- Provide the Registrar’s Office with the Social Security number by showing the original card for campus-wide updates in all databases.
- Present Student Employment with the following to complete the Federal I-9 form:
- F-1 Visa
- Social Security card

Summer Employment
On-campus summer employment becomes effective for all students mid-May, generally the Thursday after graduation. Positions should be opened and closed for summer employment.
