You can definitely put it off if you’re willing to forgo some money. You may find it harder to get a job when spots are “filled,” but by the spring rolls around many positions will be open again because people quit or are fired.

Being an ITA (information technology advisor or something like that) in the dorms is a very popular work-study job where people occasionally have to troubleshoot computers but sit around most of the time. Other jobs like that are front-desk attendants or mail-room jobs, or various other receptionist-type jobs on campus. On the flip side, research or lab jobs generally have you busy the whole time you’re working (but may have flexible hours).
