Student Employment

Lake Superior College students can apply to various open student positions while pursuing their education. Student employee positions are funded by one or more of the following sources: federal work study, state work study, grants, or the college budget. Some positions are looking to fill certain days/hours of work while other positions are flexible around individual student schedules. This is usually indicated in each specific job description. Review our Student Employment Policy to see more information and what requirements you will have to meet to be eligible to work on campus.

Steps for Student Employment at Lake Superior College:

  1. Fill out your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) even if you don’t think you will qualify for any financial aid. For more information or assistance on FAFSA, visit our Financial Aid webpage. PSEO and international students do not have to complete a FAFSA.
  2. View Student Employment listings via Handshake. Log into your preset Handshake account with your star ID and password. You may need to use your LSC email [your star id]@go.minnstate.edu for the multi-authenticator the first time.  When you’re on your dashboard, select the “Jobs” tab in the upper left corner. Then select the “All filters” button and select the  “On-campus” filter option to see all open student worker positions.Screenshot of Handshake Job Tab highlighted to show you were to click.

  3. Apply to positions you are interested in by clicking the red “Apply” button in Handshake or by reaching out to the Contact Person listed within the position description with your interest and/or questions.
  4. That supervisor will then get back to you with a possible application/interview for that position. If they offer you the position, you will then work with that supervisor on signing an offer/contract.
  5. After the offer/contract is turned into the Student Payment Office, they will contact you requesting various employment documents and provide further hiring instruction, such as online employee training information, setting up your payment preference through BankMobile Disbursements, and more.
