Can a student work during winter recess, spring break, etc.?

Students may continue their employment during winter recess, spring break, or the summer, provided that they will be re-enrolling the following semester. They should not be required to work on any day that the university is closed for an observed holiday, nor should they work on-site when an office is closed. With clear instruction and supervisor approval, student employees may work remotely when an office is closed, as long as it's not an observed holiday.

Students utilizing their Federal Work Study awards may also work during winter recess or spring break. Federal Work Study can also be used over the Summer semester. However, students may need to apply for Summer FWSP with their school. Learn more about Summer Federal Work Study.
