One way CU System contributes to the university’s goal of shaping the future workforce is by hiring students, providing real world experience.

CU System HR is an off-campus employer that follows CU Denver's Student Employment Policies and Handbook when hiring students.

Students must meet the following requirements upon hire:

  • Be enrolled in at least six credit hours during the fall and spring semesters.
  • While students do not have to take summer semester courses to be eligible for work during summer, they must still meet the above spring and fall enrollment requirements to maintain summer student employment.
  • Students may work a maximum of 25 hours a week, or 50 hours per pay period during the fall and spring semester.
  • Students may work up to 40 hours a week, or 80 hours per pay period during the summer semester.
  • Students on an F-1 or J-1 Visa must work with their CU Campus ISSS office to determine if they are eligible to apply for positions at the CU System Office. Typically, we cannot hire students on J-1 visas. Students on F-1 visas must work with their ISSS Advisor to get an updated I-20 to apply for CPT.
