Student Employment

On Campus Employment

On-campus employment opportunities can be found through the Middlebury Careers Page. Only current Middlebury College undergraduate students are eligible for student positions.

Unless restricted by certain visa status, all students with an active status for the semester are eligible for jobs on campus. Students are not eligible to work remotely from International locations.

Any student awarded Federal Work-Study for a college job is eligible to work on campus. We do not guarantee employment regardless of financial aid status.

All students are required to complete an I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification form within three days of beginning work.

Students on leave or withdrawn are not eligible to work in student employment positions until the semester in which they return. However, you are eligible to be employed in staff positions.

Hour Limitations

All student employees are limited to working no more than 20 hours per week (Monday-Sunday) in on-campus jobs during the academic year (this includes exam periods). The only exception is when there is a full week when school is not in session (specifically, February recess, Spring recess and full weeks of December recess). During these time periods only, students can work up to 40 hours per week.

Visa restrictions prohibit international students from exceeding 20 hours of work per academic calendar week. For more information related to work restrictions please visit ISSS. 

Federal Work-Study

Off campus work-study positions are available only to U.S. citizens on financial aid with a federal work-study component. Students who are awarded Federal Work Study are also eligible to work off campus. Students hired by an off-campus work study agency must obtain an authorization form from Student Financial Services. This form must be completed by the agency and returned to Student Financial Services before the work may begin.

If you have questions regarding your work study award, please contact the Student Financial Services Office at (802) 443-5158 or email FinancialAid@middlebury.edu.
