    Informal Hire Offer

    When a decision is made to hire a student, the supervisor can make an offer of employment by completing the appropriate hiring packet, which consists of the required forms. It is the supervisor’s responsibility to ensure forms are complete and mistake-free before submitting them to the Student Employment office for processing, which takes approximately 7-10 business days. Delays may occur if any paperwork has errors, is incomplete, or if there are issues with student eligibility or funding.
