Good afternoon,

Thank you for your patience as the University developed appropriate policies and procedures related to student employment for the 2020-21 academic year.

Notre Dame undergraduate and graduate students will be allowed to work on campus if the hiring department has a need and the funding in its budget to support this work. Department originators should speak with their business managers for additional guidance on funding availability before entering a job in the Student Jobs Hiring Tool.

Departments with student employment funding, that have established student employment positions that may not be offered due to COVID-19 restrictions (e.g., tour guides), may create replacement positions to support other needed work if applicable.

Hiring managers are strongly encouraged to post open jobs through the Office of Student Employment via the Student JOBboard Posting Submission Form. However, departments may rehire their past student employees without posting these positions.

Due to health and safety concerns, Federal Work-Study community service and Notre Dame Community Employment (Off-Campus) jobs will not be posted on the JOBboard for the fall semester 2020. This includes positions previously posted by Notre Dame faculty, staff and graduate students (e.g., babysitting, nanny positions, and yard work).

Based on University guidance, the majority of students will not return to campus prior to August 1, 2020. The first official day for on-campus student employment for the academic year will be August 6, 2020. All student employees will be required to meet all University and departmental health protocols regarding COVID-19, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and physical distancing. The Student Jobs Hiring Tool will open on July 15th so departments will have time to enter this information prior to the August timeframe.

We hope this information is helpful as you prepare to enter your academic year student jobs. Please refer to our FAQs on the Student Employment website for more information.

If you have any questions that have not been addressed in this communication, please contact the Office of Student Employment at stdempl@nd.edu.

Sincerely,

Student Employment
