Will student employees be working on campus this fall?
Student employees in some areas will be allowed to return to in-person operations beginning June 7th. Other AS areas of employment will return to work in August. All areas of the AS are currently and will continue to hire for student positions. For more information about current openings, please visit as.csuchico.edu/hr.
Will the AS continue to offer virtual employment to students who are not in Chico?
There may be a limited number of student positions that are eligible for telework; However, most positions with the Associated Students are operational and require you to report to work onsite.
Any student who is selected to telework must be working within a 125-mile radius of Chico. This is because there are many local ordinances (i.e. minimum wage, paid leave, etc.) in certain cities and counties in California. The AS does not have the ability to ensure compliance with ordinances outside of this region.
