Working On Campus
What is considered "on-campus" work?
On-campus employment is defined as employment within the boundaries of the campus or in facilities owned, leased, or rented by AV整氈窒. For example, your employer may be the University, a student organization, or a private contractor operating within the boundaries of the campus, such as a business in the Student Union Building or the library. On-campus employment includes work at facilities such as teaching hospitals, clinics, and research institutes, which may be located off campus but have a formal association or affiliation with AV整氈窒, and which are located within the City of Halifax. This includes AV整氈窒s Sexton Campus or Agriculture Campus.
