Aid Programs
Student Employment
Employment programs and opportunities listed on this page are administered and/or awarded through the UF Office for Student Financial Affairs (SFA).
The Student Employment Office in S-107 Criser Hall helps enrolled students find part-time employment through various job programs. Employment enables students to cover part of their expenses while attending school, and studies show that work has positive effects on students’ overall academic achievements. Job opportunities exist for all students whether or not they are eligible for financial aid.
Employment should not interfere with students’ educational goals. A normal work week is 10 to 20 hours, and 20 hours per week is the maximum students may work on campus. Students and employers generally cooperate on the hours to be worked, and most jobs allow students to arrange their schedules around their classes. Students are not permitted to work during scheduled classes or exams.
Almost every department at UF employs students part-time. These jobs offer students work related to their skills, academic or career fields, and experiences or interests. Job duties range from those demanding special research skills to those demanding only the willingness to work. UF offices and Gainesville area businesses list positions with the Student Employment Office.
Jobs are available through: the Federal Work-Study Program, Other Personnel Services, and Off-Campus Jobs.
