What is the Student Employee Program?

The Student Employee Office is dedicated to meeting the needs of the university as well as the needs of the students. Our students play an integral part in many university departments. In return for this service, student employees are given the opportunity to expand their knowledge base and build new skills. Currently, the student employee program employs about 1,000 students across two campuses.

What do student employees do?

The Student Employee Office offers Lindenwood students meaningful work experiences through a variety of positions across the Saint Charles and Belleville campuses. Being a student employee is a great way to gain valuable work experience to be successful after graduation and to offset college expenses.

What are the requirements to be a student employee?

What happens after I apply?

Once an application is submitted, the hiring manager for a position will review each application and contact the best qualified applicants over the phone or through email for a possible interview or for a job offer.

What if I am an international student?

As an international student on an F-1 visa, you are allowed to work up to 20 hours per week on campus. In order to start working, you will need to apply for a U.S social security number. Once you get hired into an on-campus position, you will need to visit the Office of International Students and Scholars to start the process of applying for a social security number. The process takes between 2 to 4 weeks. Please note that you cannot start working until you have a U.S social security number.
