Many positions listed through SEHS are conveniently located on campus, which can make it easier to coordinate employment and class schedules. The office also lists off-campus positions, which may be more conveniently located near home. While their earnings can help defray educational expenses, employed students may also develop marketable skills and the experience necessary for success in today's competitive job market. All active students at UMass Boston are eligible for student employment programs. Because each program has its own regulations, however, not every student is eligible for every type of job.
HRS provides listings of both local housing opportunities and people who are looking for housing.
The program, which is solely a referral system, is open to anyone affiliated with the University community. Information about the Housing Referral Service can also be found on the SEHS website.
