Student Positions

Position descriptions for all student positions must be filed with the Student Employment Office. These descriptions outline the responsibilities of each position and the required experience and skills. They also form the basis of the College's Student Wage Program.

Descriptions of New Positions: Supervisors are responsible for drafting new job descriptions in conjunction with the Student Employment Office.

Changing Position Descriptions: Position descriptions are updated when there are substantial changes in the scope and practice of a job. The supervisor and the student work together to make written changes on the current description as necessary and forward the new description to the Student Employment Office. The College reserves the right to change position descriptions with notice to the student; normally, a College initiated change would be policy driven. It is recommended that the supervisor review position descriptions annually, preferably coinciding with the student performance evaluations.

Viewing Position Descriptions: All position descriptions that have been submitted to SEO for posting may be accessed by clicking the option of Job Descriptions in the Supervisor Tool Box.
