Helpful TipsNone required, the student will work as a Hennepin employee
- A student worker can be hired as you would hire any other employee or intern-- the University does not have to be involved in the hiring or placement of the student.
- In this case, normal County hiring procedures would apply for the student. Pay can be determined by your office, but these are typical pay ranges at the University for student workers:
- Undergraduate: $8-13/hour
- Graduate: $17-28/hour
- Ph.D.: similar to graduate pay, but can vary
- Most undergraduate hires will not require faculty involvement, but the student may wish to have an informal connection to a professor for advising. Graduate students are most likely to require a faculty involvement if the position is set up as a Graduate Assistantship.
- If you hire a graduate student as a Graduate Assistant, a faculty member or academic administrator must commit to being the student worker's supervisor. Click on these links for more information on Graduate Assistant policies and procedures.
- If you are looking for a professor or academic administrator to work with, try searching the University's Experts Database according to your project's goals, or search the University's main web site.
