Student Job Categories
  • Category 1 – These positions require constant labor and attention to detail but do not offer direct experiential learning. Often a production position in areas such as dining, landscaping or custodial work. Sometimes a position with little or no “prestige,” but always valuable work to keep the college operating well.
  • Category 2 – These positions offer experiential learning to build skills that can be used on a resume to demonstrate direct experience for a career oriented position. Sometimes service or production work in areas including admissions, the libraries, CIT, marketing, video services or the Events and Conference Office. Sometimes academic work including paper grading, teaching assistance, tutoring or research.
    • Research Assistants - The unique nature of student research makes the pay structure separate and distinct from other employment categories. "Studnet Researchers" constitute their own subcategory under "Cateogry 2" (Experiential Learning).  Refer to for additional information.
  • Category 3 – These positions offer the chance for students to do homework or other multitasking activities while working. These positions include Dow and DeVos door greeters, department receptionists and more.
  • Category 4 – These positions require certification or other extra requirements to perform the job. These positions include lifeguards, trainers, grant-funded employment, regulated animal care providers, chemical handling and more. There are very few Category 4 positions.
