Work
Students who are not eligible for one of the need-based work-study programs may still work on-campus. Searching for jobs and the hiring process are the same for work-study and student employment. More information on work-study and student employment jobs is available on the Student Employment page of the UT website.
Work-study programs awarded as part of a student's aid package are typically the only aid that is not applied toward a student's billing statement. Instead, students earn a paycheck for the hours worked; most positions pay minimum wage. When students first begin working for UT, it may take several weeks to receive a first paycheck. After that, students are paid every two weeks.
Openings for all work programs are posted on Workday. To search for jobs in Workday, students should:

Students must be eligible for employment; additional documentation is required, like a social security card, U.S. passport and/or driver's license. Your supervisor will assist you with the required employment paperwork before you begin your first day of work. Students may not begin working until the appropriate documentation is complete. International students must receive a social security card valid for employment before they may begin working. Students typically work 10 hours per week and may work no more than 24 hours per week in on-campus jobs.
