Students will be able to work on-campus jobs for more than 20 hours a week during intercessions and summers after the fall semester.

Susan Ford, interim provost and vice chancellor of academic affairs, said administration will hopefully decide how many hours students will be able to work during these times by the end of the semester. She said the 20-hour cap policy remains for fall and spring semesters.

“How high can students go in terms of the hours they work? Do they need to be registered or not registered?” Ford said. “We’re trying to sort all that out … by the end of the fall so that as we move into spring semester, students know by January what the policy is going to be for the summer.”

Ford said determining the amount of hours students can work on campus during intercessions and summer semesters will be discussed with deans and financial officers in the next several months.

“Having students work more than 20 hours a week in a regular academic semester is considered poor academic practice all across the country,” Ford said. “It is best practices to encourage them to work at a level that fits allowing them to also be a full-time student.”
