How many hours can a student employee (undergraduate and graduate) work in one week?

  • Student employees are students first. They can work up to 20 hours per week (FTE of 0.5) across all campus jobs.
  • Please be sure to check with your hire about any additional campus jobs they may have when you hire them so not to exceed 20 hours per week across all campus jobs.

Who must complete an I-9?

Any new hire that has never worked for the university must complete an I-9 before they can begin working for UNCW in any capacity.
