If a supervisor/manager wants to extend a student employee’s job past the specified end date, can the position be extended without reposting the position in Handshake?

Yes. With proper approval from the Associate Vice President/Dean or their designee (the appointing authority), the department does not need to repost the job position on Handshake if the supervisor/manager is seeking to extend a student’s job past the original end date. HR can extend the date upon receipt of an email from the appointing authority authorizing the extension and identifying the new end date. We recommend the emails be sent to the Student Employment email, stuemploy@ewu.edu. If this is a Work Study position, please contact Student Employment for clarification.
