Student-athletes may be employed during the summer and/or academic year. Please note the following conditions to ensure that you are being employed in a permissible manner:
  • You must be compensated only for work you actually perform.
  • You must be compensated at the same pay rate as others employed for similar services
  • You may not be paid because of your athletics reputation or personal following you have achieved as an athlete.
  • The employer may not use your name, image or likeness to promote the company or its interests.
Unless you have exhausted your athletics eligibility, all student-athletes who wish to work are required to contact their coach and the Office of Athletic Compliance prior to accepting off-campus employment.

Camps/Clinics and Private Lessons
It is permissible for student-athletes to work both Rutgers and non-Rutgers athletic camps/clinics. It is also permissible for student-athletes to teach private lessons ("fee-for-lessons"), as long as Rutgers facilities are not used.

Student-athletes must contact the Office of Athletic Compliance to obtain the required paperwork before engaging in private lessons.
