Working at BYU while schooling at BYU

Today at work, my boss told me about some new student employment policy changes coming into effect for Winter Semester 2008. I haven’t been able to verify these, but student employees at BYU should inquire if they think these changes will effect them.

Starting Winter Semester 2008, there is a change in the number of credit hours of classes a BYU student employee can take. Undergraduate, non-international students, may take between 6 and 15 credit hours and work for BYU. Students who work outside of this range of credit hours need special permission. This is a change because previously there wasn’t an upper limit on the number of credits a student employee could take.

I’m told that the reason for the change is that students taking more than 15 credit hours are less likely to perform well at their job, nor are they likely to succeed at their education.

The credit-hour ranges are different for graduate students and international students. Again, don’t take my word for this, but ask your supervisor if you plan on taking more than 15 credit hours and working next semester.
