When trying to determine the appropriate FTE for a student worker position (levels I-IV), consider the average hours the employee will work per week. This does not mean the employee is limited to only working that number of hours -they can work more or less as their assignment requires, as long as time is in line with university and school policy.

Students are allowed to work 20 hours per week during the academic year and may not work more than an average of 25 hours per week (62.5 percent FTE) over a rolling twelve month period. This maximum applies to the combined total of all jobs, including hours associated with stipends paid for services.
