ShiftU connects students with employers: university departments, non-profits, local businesses and households. By creating an account you agree to these terms.

Who can use ShiftU

• Students must sign up with their school email and give accurate information, including their NetID. One account per person.
• Employers must request access and be approved before posting. You must be authorized to hire for the organization you represent.

What employers agree to

• Follow the posting guidelines: real jobs, honest pay and hours, no fees or purchases asked of students, no discrimination, and safe working conditions.
• Use applicant information only to make hiring decisions for the role they applied to, and never share or sell it.
• Pay students for all hours worked, and follow employment laws, including minimum wage, work authorization (Form I-9) and, for Work-Study roles, federal Work-Study rules.
• Employers, not ShiftU, make hiring decisions and are the students' employer.

What students agree to

• Give accurate information on applications and timesheets. Logging hours you didn't work is fraud.
• Report roles that look like scams or make you feel unsafe.

Eligibility checks

When your school connects its records, ShiftU shows employers whether an applicant meets course-load, Work-Study and work-authorization requirements. These checks help employers but don't replace the employer's and school's own responsibilities.

Our role

ShiftU provides the platform. We review employers and roles, but we can't guarantee every posting or every employer. We may remove roles, pause organizations or close accounts that break these terms.

Ending your account

You can delete your account at any time from your account page. Some records (hours worked and pay) are kept as required by law; see the privacy policy.

Changes and contact

We'll post changes here and tell you about important ones by email. Questions: danielmcnair72@gmail.com.
