Student Employment

Are you ready to get more than a paycheck while earning your NSU degree? Nova Southeastern University provides assistance to NSU students who are looking for employment opportunities they can balance with their school responsibilities. Students can participate in either need-based employment programs, such as Federal Work-Study, or non-need-based programs, such as the NSU Student Employment Program.


To apply for student employment opportunities in JobX, students must self-enroll into the Student Employment Workshop found in Canvas.
