Working while attending college not only provides you with a source of money but can also help you develop valuable workplace skills, master time management and build a list of good references.

On-campus employment

Finding a student job on campus is a great way to get to know your peers and professors. Student jobs are offered in administrative offices throughout campus--departments where your employers have a good understanding of the academic demands placed upon you and have the ability to accommodate your course schedule.

Our office manages DU's work program, so if you have work-study as part of your financial aid package, we can direct you to these types of on-campus positions via webCentral.

All on-campus positions that do not require work-study are managed by Human Resources, which maintains a list of job postings online. All students, regardless of financial need, are eligible to apply for those positions. To view positions, see the Department of Human Resources' Job Postings.

Off-campus employment

Our office can also connect you to off-campus jobs in the Denver area. Many of these positions are just minutes from the DU campus. On average, students in such jobs earn $12 per hour and work 16 hours per week.

Our online job board lists openings for off-campus positions that are available to all students, regardless of financial need.

If you have work-study, this program includes an optional community service component that enables you to earn your award at a local nonprofit or government agency.
