Except for one campus, the proportion of students not working for pay increased from 2006 and 2010. The proportion working more than 20 hours a week decreased from 2006 to 2010 except on two campuses.

The trends in undergraduate work patterns may result from a combination of factors, including the growing proportion of students from high-income families (see 3.5.3) and diminished job opportunities for students due to the recession.

UC expects all students to help finance their education through a combination of work and borrowing. Where student work is concerned, the University's goal is for students to work at a reasonable level that does not impede progress toward completion of the baccalaureate degree. Working more than 20 hours per week during the academic term is considered excessive.
