Student Assistant Appointments 

This guide shows how users can navigate to the CSU Student Processes module to process stateside student concurrent appointments, reappointments, pay increases, and view the status of a student assistant appointment.

Do not use this module to process R11 academic student employees (ISA); use the Temporary Academic Employment process instead. 

Your menus may look slightly different from what is pictured in this guide depending on what security roles you've been assigned based on your job responsibilities. However, the navigation to CSU Student Processes remains the same.

This article shows the process of rehiring a student into the same position if they have previously worked in your department within the past year.

Only use this process if the student has had an active appointment in your department within the past calendar year and will be reappointed in the same position. If the student who previously worked in your department has had a break in employment for one year or more, you must hire them via CHRS Recruiting.

For students that will continue working in the department but under a different position number, enter their appointment into CSU Student Hire. (Please connect with Employment Services)

Do not change the Position Number on this screen!

If a student needs to be hired under a different job code/position number than their previous appointment, it is considered a concurrent job and must be processed under CSU Student Hire.

If a student is ineligible for reappointment, you will see a comment in the Error Message column explaining why that student does not meet the criteria for student employment. However, the system will still allow you to process a reappointment for an ineligible student. Make sure that you verify that the student can work in a certain position by checking their enrollment status, academic standing, and Federal Work-Study award (if applicable) before entering anything into CHRS.

The system will not block all errors and may allow mistakes to go through (e.g. reappointing a student that isn't enrolled, appointing a student as an 1871 even if they don't have an FWS award, etc.) so make sure that you verify that the student can work in a given position before you process the reappointment in this module.
