Considering hiring a student?

There are three choices to consider when hiring a student employee:

  • HRMS Form 506/520--Used exclusively for hiring graduate students who receive a stipend and to coordinate information between the Bursar's Office, the hiring department, Payroll, and the Human Resources Service Center.

  • Student Employment--For all full-time, matriculated University students not hired using a 506/520 form. Departments can contact the Student Employment Office at x5-2138 to post a position or visit their Web site at www.rochester.edu/careercenter.

  • Human Resources--Use this option for students who cannot be hired through Student Employment or by using form 506/520. This includes part-time students, nonmatriculated University students, University students who have graduated and will continue to work past May 21, and students from other schools, including co-ops and interns.
