Supervisors should review information about Supervising Summer Employees, which includes processing requirements for summer employment.

Students hired to work for Middlebury College between Graduation and the first day of Fall classes must apply via Workable and be hired by their supervisor or be submitted through the rehire process. This is required for ANY AND ALL summer jobs. To qualify for a summer student employment position (non-SRA) you must be registered for Fall term. The hiring data must be submitted by April 18th. This means they must either be indicated as returning with a start date as a rehire or they must be in Workable in the “Student Hired” category with a start date.

Note: Recent graduates cannot work in a student position. Please visit the staff job opportunities page on the college website for available staff positions. For information on hiring a recent graduate please contact Human Resources at hr@middlebury.edu. 

Students will receive a confirmation email regarding their summer employment dates once the hire data is processed. 

For Early Return

This applies to any Midd student employee who must return to campus for work purposes between August 21st and September 7th. The deadline for completing student rehires or new hires for early return individuals is July 28, 2025.  This allows HR, Reslife and Facilities the time needed to coordinate employment records and dorm move in.
