Students applying to work Laurentian Weekend should be aware that:

  • When hiring, we strongly prefer students who are available for as many hours as possible over the weekend. Shifts are typically a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 8 hours at a time. Split shifts (4 hours in the morning, 4 hours at night) are also a possibility. We do our best to accommodate student-athletes and others who may need to work around legitimate prior commitments.
  • You may still work during Laurentian Weekend even if you currently have 2 other jobs on campus. Similarly, your Family Weekend hours will not count toward the maximum amount of hours you are allowed to work in a week (but we limit the number of hours that each student works specifically for Family Weekend to 15 total).
