Job Opportunity Potential

Explore student employment opportunities including on-campus jobs and work-study to gain professional experience, develop job skills, and earn money while enhancing and exploring your career goals and interests.

Student Employment is a high-impact, experiential learning program that is an integral part of your student experience. Jobs are intentionally designed to provide you with skills and competencies that translate to a variety of career paths and help you apply classroom learning.

Participating in student employment, as opposed to working in any job off campus, means that your role as a student comes first. Jobs are flexible around your schedule, convenient to where you live and study, and accessible.

Seattle University employs over 1,500 students each year, so there’s a job that fits every student.  

Choose from positions that span the entire academic year or just one quarter, require 3 hours per week or up to 20 hours per week, and have in-person, hybrid, or remote schedules. Here are just some of the jobs on campus that can be both relevant and transferrable to your career goals:

  • Office Assistant in departments across campus  
  • UREC Group Fitness Instructor or Personal Trainer  
  • Research Assistant in your academic department  
  • Tutor for the Learning Assistance Programs  
  • Community Ambassador in the MOSAIC Center 
  • Redhawk Ambassador for Admissions  
  • Electrician Assistant for Facilities  
  • Events & Equipment Assistant in Athletics  
  • Rudy the Redhawk! (yes, the school mascot is an on-campus job)

Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria

  • Applicants should provide copies of transcripts/grade reports for the equivalent of US grades 9-11, and grade 12 if it has been completed. We recognize that grade 9 is considered middle school/lower secondary in many countries; however, we still would like to see transcripts for at least 3 years of coursework. If you are from a country with a national exam system (e.g. GCSE/IGCSE, WAEC, KCSE, Gaokao, Indian Boards), please send copies of those results as well. Copies of academic records are accepted for admission decision purposes; however, official documents will be required after admission and before enrolling at the university.” (“Official” documents are those that are sent directly to Seattle University from the issuing institution.)
