The College of Charleston is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer. Students must be hired without discrimination on the basis of age, race, sex, religion, creed, sexual preference, handicap, disability, veteran status, ancestral origin or ancestry. It is acceptable to hire students on the basis of sex only if that factor is a legitimate occupational qualification for that particular job (i.e. locker room attendant).

It is important to remember that student employees are not to begin work prior to a Student Employment Approval Form (SEAF) is submitted and approved by the Student Employment Programs Coordinator.

Following are the steps involved in the hiring process. Please note that all forms must be completed on the part of the hiring department. If any information is lacking, the forms will be sent back and processing will be delayed.

Summer Employment

Students wishing to work on-campus during the summer months are eligible as long as they have not graduated, are enrolled for any summer session OR are enrolled for the following fall semester. Students do not have to be enrolled in summer school in order to work during this period.

Transfer students enrolled at the College just during the summer term are only eligible to work during the session in which they are enrolled.

Entering freshman are ineligible to work until their actual matriculation takes place, either in the fall or spring semesters.

Fiscal Year Contract Accommodations

All student employment contracts expire on June 30th in order to accommodate the change in fiscal year. Supervisors needing to continue employment beyond this date are required to submit a new SEAF with the proper supporting documentation beginning July 1st.
