Students who are interested in working on campus will be able to find current job opportunities at the Student Employment Office or on the EKU Employment web site.

There are two categories of employment:

  • Federal Work Study
  • Institutional Employment.

Federal Work Study is available to eligible students who have made application for financial aid and are enrolled for a minimum of six hours for the semester.

Institutional Employment is available to any student who has not applied for financial aid or does not have eligibility for Federal Work Study. Institutional Student employees must be enrolled a minimum of 12 hours per semester. The positions are varied and most pay minimum wage.

Students who are interested in gaining employment off campus in local and surrounding counties can receive assistance through the Part-Time Job Placement Program.

To enroll in the program students may contact Career Services at (859) 622-8649.

The Part Time Job Placement Program is located in Student Success Building Room 465.
