To review undergraduate employment opportunities and to clarify their meaning relative to federal regulations, the categories on this page define the types of work that turn an undergraduate student into an actual "employee" of Brown. An actual employee of Brown requires hourly wages, thus allowing alternative methods of recognition or payment.
Please follow these categories when determining the appropriate payment method for student workers. Failure to follow these guidelines could put the University at risk. Email Student Employment with any questions.
Note: Prizes and reimbursements are not considered employment. Please refer to the Controller's Office for additional information.
