Student Assistants perform duties from unskilled to skilled and/or specialized in a variety of positions that typically require the use of manual, clerical, and public contact. The nature of the job may vary from department to department. Assignments have limited use of discretion and judgment. Work is regularly reviewed and may entail detailed instructions. Student Assistant job assignments take into account the class timings and exam schedule of the student and are more flexible than off-campus jobs.
Student assistants have a wide variety of choices and can choose assignments in a department that align with their academic and career goals and interests, as available. Accordingly, the duties and responsibilities will be varying depending on the nature of the assignment. Duties will be determined based on the needs of the position in the respective department.
