JobLink for Students

The Student Employment Office maintains an online system called JobLink to connect you with employers on campus. JobLink allows you to:

  • Search for open jobs on campus
  • Apply for a job
  • Access resources for student employees

Please note that all incoming students, both graduates and undergraduates, will not have access to JobLink until one to two weeks before the start of the semester.

  • Matriculated and visiting or exchange students are eligible for on-campus jobs through student employment.
  • Non-matriculated and students enrolled in certification programs are not eligible to work through student employment.

Be aware of scams. Student employment opportunities will never require a student to spend their own money, purchase supplies, or ask for any banking information. Learn more about protecting yourself from email and online scams at  https://tech.rochester.edu/security/scams/
