Student Employment Frequently Asked Questions

Just Do WIT is a mantra that we have adopted in our department. It means “Just Do Whatever It Takes.” This mantra applies to our philosophy when providing satisfaction to our clients and making sure that we do whatever it takes to ensure that their events go smoothly. It also applies to our commitment to the development of our student employees and making sure that our departments provide them the necessary skills to be the best employees not only in Clemson but in other places as well.

1. The student must first submit an application and all of the necessary identification documents (CU ID, Driver’s license, and signed Social Security card). If the student is interested in Regular Scheduled jobs, they must also submit a class schedule and resume. Note: We do not permit the submission of passports or other identification items in the place of a social security card.

2. The students will be entered into Vencidi, where they will need to sign up for a call to show their intent to work in our department. A student manager will request to hire them and our Coordinator of Payroll and Hiring will be prompted to hire them. Note: All applicants in our department are added and will be hired for Event jobs as a part of their hiring process. If a student is interested in Regular Scheduled jobs, a formal interview will have to be set up by the area supervisor.

3. The student will then receive an email from HR explaining how to set up their direct deposit information. Note: Unless the student has received this email, they will not be able to set up their direct deposit.
