Working as a First Year Student

Common Misconceptions

Perception: Students who work while attending school full-time struggle to keep up with their studies because of time management issues and they have a lower GPA than students who don’t work.

Reality: Working while attending school full-time increases the need for students to manage their time and thus helps students establish a more structured routine.

  • From 2006-2024, University of Iowa freshman students who worked between 1-20 hours per week had GPA 0.13 higher than their non-working counterparts.
  • This same data is validated with national statistics. On average, students who work on campus maintain a higher GPA than those who don’t.

Perception: Having a student job affects the focus of students away from the classroom and can cause early drop-out rates.

Reality: No campus activity has shown as much positive influence on a students’ academic success and retention as campus employment. 

On‑campus employers are aware that the students they hire have a #1 priority of doing well in school; therefore, employers are flexible with students’ schedules. 

  • From 2006-2024, University of Iowa data shows that student employees are retained at a 3.65% higher clip than their non-working peers.

Perception: With less time to focus on academics, student workers struggle to graduate in four years and take much longer to finish their degree requirements.

Reality: Student employees don’t just keep up, but far exceed the University of Iowa graduation rate average at both the 4 and 6-year levels.

  • Since 2006, 4-year graduation rates for students who work on campus are at a 2.75% higher level than the university average.
  • The 6-year graduation rates have an even more significant increase with student employees graduating at a 3.36% higher level.

Perception: It’s just a student job.

Reality: Student jobs develop skills future employers want. The UI STEP (Student to Employed Professional) program prepares students to articulate those skills.
