Student Job Exchange Program

Student Job Exchange (Redeployment) Program

The purpose of this program is to identify currently underutilized student staff who might be able to provide help in other areas of campus and match them with departments that have special assignments/tasks and/or projects. To be elgible for redeployment, the student must be in an active appointment.  If the student staff's job has expired (auto-terminated), the department has taken action to separate, or the indiviual has resigned, the student is no longer eligible to partipcate in the redployment program. 

The goal is to maintain underutilized student employees’ whole by offering available work without the need to adjust compensation.  Employees will be matched based on their transferrable knowledge, skills, abilities (KSAs). 

As we receive requests, we will match employees with departments. If there are no qualified candidates with the requested skills identifed in the pool, the requesting department will be notified. 

**Please note**  Students in represented academic titles (Remedial Tutor/Reader) are not eligible to participate in the Student Job Exchange Program.  For more information, please contact Academic Personnel
