HRMS Student Positions Overview

Overview This presentation covers core concepts and processes related to student positions and assignments including: Important Terms General Information Registration and Tuition Requirements Common Audits Resources

Important Terms Pooled Position A position that allows multiple, simultaneous incumbent assignments. Each assignment of an incumbent to the pool has an associated unique assignment ID. Only student and University Affiliate positions can be pooled. Incumbents in a pooled position must share the same job code and pay type and must be paid from the same account. Non-Pooled Position A position that only allows a single incumbent assignment at any given time. A non-pooled position can have only one incumbent except in the case of a maximum 90-day overlap of assignments due to training purposes. Having overlapping assignments does not constitute a pooled position.

Important Terms Work-Study An employment program for students who have demonstrated financial need. To be considered for a work-study award, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), demonstrate financial need, and maintain satisfactory academic progress. Students may earn up to the amount of their work-study awards each semester.Free Application for Federal Student Aid

General Information Student assignments must fall within semester dates. Student positions can be pooled or non-pooled. Pooled student positions can have both work-study and non-work study assignments. Separation reason defaults to “end of assignment” but can be changed on a Modify document. Reemployment recommendation defaults to “eligible for reemployment” but can be changed on a Modify document. Student positions cannot be reclassified.
