Policies and Procedures

Eligibility Criteria

Students must meet the following criteria to be considered for on-campus employment. The applicant must:

• be a full-time undergraduate student (enrolled with at least 12 credits) who has completed one semester at AUS. Visiting and exchange students are not eligible for on-campus employment through OSE
• have a GPA of at least 2.2
• have good conduct and social standing

Role of OSE

All student employment concerns are processed by OSE, which has the following responsibilities:

• educating AUS departments and students about student employment policies and procedures and the AUS Career Portal through workshops
• facilitating the student employment process by providing guidance and making information and resources available to both students and AUS departments
• providing students with opportunities for adequate training to prepare them for the workplace and to enhance their skills and help them become more productive
• maintaining a current database of eligible student employees and job openings on campus
• promote the AUS Career Portal to AUS departments as the main platform for posting job vacancies and to students for searching available jobs.

Role of AUS Departments

AUS units must follow the procedures below:

• post job openings in their department to the AUS Career Portal. An AUS department can recommend a student for its job opening but must ensure that the student meets the eligibility criteria.
• complete a New Employment Application form online through Banner and submit it to OSE for approval. Upon OSE's approval, the student can commence work and access the online time sheet.
• check, verify and approve student time sheets in the approval queue for payment processing.
• inform the OSE when staff and faculty members who are a part of the OSE online approval chain are going on leave in order to avoid delays in time sheet processing.

Role of the Student

Students who meet the criteria for student employment should:

• visit the OSE office or log on to https://aus-csm.symplicity.com to check for job openings. Alternatively, students can inquire from AUS departments.
• open a savings account with the on-campus Sharjah Islamic Bank, as payments will be made directly to the student's bank account
• complete the online timesheet at the end of each month, and submit it for approval and processing
