Facts About Student Jobs at the University of Maine


All jobs are different from one another and what exactly sets apart a campus job from one off campus? There are criteria for a lot of jobs on campus that outside jobs don't have and there is a standard set up schedule that is held for most paying jobs at the University.


One of the standard requirements across the board for jobs on campus are that they are provided only to students. These students must also have more than six credits. Another requirement is that a students GPA must be above a 2.5. The reason for this is so that the employer knows the student will be able to handle a job on top of school. If the student is struggling with school, then they must continue working diligently in school before they can apply for a job.


Working hours are accounted for on a trust basis. Student will log onto their MaineStreet account and plug in their hours after their shift of that day. There is also usually a paper copy in the workplace. Paychecks are processed and go directly into a students bank account every two weeks.


Students can work in more than one department, but their total hours can not exceed more than 20. As long as the employment schedule fits within the class schedule, then the student may work more than one job.
