Working While You Attend Seattle University

As the office responsible for coordinating employment opportunities for Seattle University students, we provide both on-campus and off-campus student employment options:

• On-campus and off-campus need-based work-study
• On-campus and off-campus non need-based student employment

To qualify for the need-based programs, students must file a FAFSA each year and be determined to have enough need to be awarded this type of funding. To qualify for the non need-based programs, all students must do is have a desire to work and make the necessary contacts to talk with prospective employers.

Our work-study programs offer students the opportunity to gain valuable work experience while earning money for college. Students can enhance their current course work as well as their future professions by integrating classroom learning with real-world work experience.

As a service to our students and the local community, the Student Financial Services Office maintains an on-line job board of part-time and temporary positions that students access by logging on to the Redhawk Network. 

Listings there include both on and off-campus positions as well as work study and non-work study jobs as well as paid and unpaid internships and, when you're ready, full time career and non-career positions. Although we review each position before it is posted, we are unable to investigate the merits of all positions or employers and strongly encourage our students to use good judgment in evaluating safety, wages, working conditions and other aspects of non work study off-campus employment.
