How to Post a Student Employment Job for CWRU
Most student worker positions, with a few exceptions, must be submitted through Interfolio. Interfolio streamlines the job posting process, ensuring every CWRU student has simplified, consistent access to employment opportunities. With a centralized platform and standardized listings, departments can post roles efficiently—while students benefit from a clear, reliable system to discover and apply for jobs across campus. It's equity, efficiency, and access, all in one place.
Hiring Students Remotely
Departments looking to hire students to work remotely in a location outside of Ohio should first review the university's Out-of-State Student Employment Policy. Additional information is available on the Controller's Out-of-State Fully Remote Work FAQs page.
