Application Overview: Whether applying for one or all of the positions available, only one application should be submitted to our external application linked here.

You also must apply through CSU’s HR system Workday, linked here.
For full consideration in this hiring process:
- First complete the external application – this is what we use to determine interview eligibility
- Next apply to the Workday Posting for each position you want to be considered for. Links to each Workday Posting can be found below in the Position Descriptions section.
Interview Overview: Interviews will be offered on a rolling basis. Interview offers may come from supervisors of positions you shared interest in. Submitting an application does not guarantee an interview. Interviews will either be conducted in-person or virtually; if the latter, closed captioning will be provided. If you are offered multiple interviews for different SLiCE positions, expect to have each of those interviews with the differing position’s supervisor, and possibly SLiCE student staff currently in the role.
Job Offers: If SLiCE chooses to hire you for the 2026 – 2027 Student Staff Team, you will only be offered one position in SLiCE; you will not receive multiple job offers.
What is Work-Study?
All CSU students can apply for a work-study award. Work-study can be awarded federally through FAFSA as a needs-based award or from state or University funding by applying on RamWeb for part-time job opportunities via the “Request for Work-Study” Application. For more information, click here. Work-study funding can be available for in-state students, out-of-state students, international students, DACA students, graduate students, student veterans, adult learners, and more. The Office of Financial Aid will make the determination if your financial aid package can accommodate work-study, or if a work-study award conflicts with your funding. They have the expertise to make this decision, you will lose nothing by applying as you still must “accept” work-study, if awarded.
Must I have work-study to apply to SLiCE?
Yes, you need a work-study award to be hired as a SLiCE Student Staff Team Member. SLiCE uses work-study funds to offset student fees to cover the costs associated with student staff hourly pay, student staff training costs, and other student staffing processes.
The “Request for Work-Study Application” (non-need-based work-study) is found on RamWeb.
