Student Payroll FAQs

Student Employment Hiring Process - Red Card

What is a Red Card?

The Red Card authorizes you to work for any department on campus, during your term as a full-time student of Houghton University. Once it has been obtained, payroll paperwork does not need to be renewed to begin working for a different department on campus; just present your Red Card once hired by a new department.
