For the initial step of our application, we need to identify the number of student staff employees who are eligible work period. If you are unsure if your staff is eligible, please include them in your count and an amendment can be made at later date.

When calculating the number of students employed for a period, you would include an individual student multiple times if they were employed during multiple semesters. For example, if you hired a student for summer 2020, fall 2020 and winter 2021, they would be counted three times, once for each semester.
