General Guidelines

The following general points should be kept in mind when submitting applications:

• Preference will be given to positions with an international education focus and those that capitalize on the international experience/expertise of the student.

• Jobs must be varied in nature (administrative, research, cataloguing, etc).  Career related positions are encouraged.

• All jobs must be available on campus and be flexible in hours to fit students' academic schedules.  For the summer session, preference will be given to jobs that provide students with full-time work.

• Conditions and limitations of employment are governed by general university policies and by collective agreements.

• The hourly pay rate for ISEP positions must be at least the minimum hourly wage rate ($9.50/ hour as of March 31, 2009) plus 4% vacation pay.  Hourly rates above this minimum are acceptable and should be set according to the nature of the job ($10.00 to $12.00 per hour is average at York).  

A condition of funding is that units hire a student who meets the following criteria:

• Registered as a full-time, international student in the Fall/Winter 08/09 academic year (students who are graduating in SU09 may be hired for the summer session).

• Is not an exchange student.

• Is not a graduate student.

• Is not holding another position in this program.

• Holds a valid Study Permit.

A few final notes:

• Approved positions will be given an official job number and informed of the amount of funding approved for the position.

• Positions may be placed on a wait list.  If any positions become available prior to or during the program, those holding wait list applications will be contacted.
