FAQ for Students
For general information about Student Employment and our website, please refer to the Q & A below.
What are the benefits of getting an on-campus job?
One of the most important features of getting a job on campus is becoming registered in the Bates employment system. Once you have been work authorized, you can hold any positions on campus, from scoring a rugby game one afternoon to researching with a professor. Once you are offered a job, you can get work authorized. You will need to obtain these original documents.
Can I apply for more than one job? What if I am offered multiple jobs? Can I only accept one?
You are encouraged to apply for many jobs and are allowed to accept more than one job if you feel you can commit to all of them. Remember, you are only allowed to work a total of 20 hours per week, no matter how many jobs you have. If you are offered more than one job and only want to accept one, politely decline the employer’s offer.
