Student Employment

Student Employment

Student employment at Oklahoma City University is open to all students, without regard to whether they are eligible to receive federal work study. Students are given the opportunity to contribute to their education funds while learning skills that will benefit them in the classroom and beyond. Employers benefit from students’ talents, insight and enthusiasm.

The objectives of the Student Employment Office are to provide learning opportunities for students, standardized practices and procedures for Student Employment and a centralized information system for student employment opportunities. It also seeks to enhance the awareness of student employment and to increase the number, variety, and quality of both on-campus and off-campus employment opportunities.
