Employment

Student Employee (SE) positions on campus

Student Employee (SE) positions are support positions in the offices at the College—such as the library, the bookstore, student services, administration, development, and publications. Student employees are paid on an hourly basis for work done. These positions are posted throughout the year, as they become available. All Government of Canada employment regulations apply. We usually have about 65 SE positions available each year, and they average 10-15 hours of work per week.

Teaching assistantships

Teaching assistants help Regent faculty with various course-related tasks such as grading, research, tutorial preparation, and copying. Assistants are paid on an hourly basis for work done. Most TA positions are posted in March. All Government of Canada employment regulations apply. We usually have about 55-60 TA positions available each year, and they average 6-10 hours of work per week.

Foreign students

As a full-time Regent student (taking a minimum of 18 credit hours per academic or calendar year) with a valid study permit, you are permitted to work either:

• on campus at Regent College
• in a church or religious organization, provided you are ministering to the spiritual needs of a congregation (defined as preaching doctrine, presiding at liturgical functions, or providing spiritual counseling). This allowance covers MDiv students during their supervised ministry component.
• long distance either by phone or internet. Your employer must be located outside of Canada and you must be remunerated from outside Canada as well. An example would be editing or translating text.

You can work under your study permit within these guidelines—you do not need a work permit. Regent College does not currently qualify for an off-campus work permit.

If you plan to work in Canada after you graduate, you can apply for a Post-Graduate Work Permit. These permits are relatively easy to obtain, and are generally valid for one to three years after you graduate, depending on the length of your program.

For information on work permits, visit the Study and Work Permits page.
