Summary
A student assistant works in a particular department of the college or the district site and has job responsibilities specifically designed for a student as non-classified job responsibilities.
 
Student Assistants perform duties from unskilled to skilled and/or specialized in a variety of positions that typically require the use of manual, clerical, and public contact. The nature of the job may vary from department to department. Assignments have limited use of discretion and judgment. Work is regularly reviewed and may entail detailed instructions. Student Assistant job assignments take into account the class timings and exam schedule of the student and are more flexible than off-campus jobs.
 
Student assistants have a wide variety of choices and can choose assignments in a department that align with their academic and career goals and interests, as available.  Accordingly, the duties and responsibilities will be varying depending on the nature of the assignment. Duties will be determined based on the needs of the position in the respective department.

Work is under general supervision (work objectives are set but methods of performing tasks are left up to the employee) with specialized training done on the job. Work assignments are varied and less routine and involve a moderate degree of responsibility. Work assignments may involve access to and use of sophisticated data systems and confidential information for which considerable training is required. The supervisor has responsibility for the assignment of work, however, there is less control exercised over the flow of work and the instruction given is more general. Jobs may require moderate independent judgment, analysis, and decision-making skills; must have a minimum of one year of experience in the same student assistant assignment.

Work is under general supervision (work objectives are set but methods of performing tasks are left up to the employee).
