How To Work Study
Why You Should Consider an On-Campus Job?
Earn money to help cover tuition, books, living expenses.
Increase your chances of graduating - students with campus jobs are more likely to earn their degree.
Gain real-world experience that enhances your resume and prepares you for your future career.
Flexible hours that fit around your class schedule - no work during class time.
Short shifts between classes make it easy to balance work and study.
Students working 6-12 hours/week tend to achieve higher grades.
All positions start at Colorado's current minimum wage.
Work Smart, Study Smarter!
Balance is key: Working more than 19 hours/week may impact your academic performance.
Manage your time: Short shifts between classes help you stay productive without overwhelming your schedule.
