Student Employment
Students must be enrolled at least half time or have been accepted for such enrollment for any on campus employment. The most common types of positions available are Federal Work-Study positions and Regular Payroll positions. Students are limited to 30 hours a week during periods of enrollment.
Students on foreign student visas (F-1's) are eligible for on-campus Regular Student Payroll positions only and are restricted to 20 hours per week during periods of enrollment.
Students awarded Work-Study who are not on the payroll by October 1st will lose their funding, unless the Financial Aid Office has been notified of the students intention to seek employment at a later date.
Federal Work-Study Employment
Federal Work-Study employment is on campus (except for America Reads), and work schedules are set up around classes. This program is available to citizens or permanent residents of the United States. To be eligible, the student must receive a Federal Work-Study allocation as a part of the financial aid package. Jobs can be found by accessing the Student Jobline.
Proceeds from Federal Work-Study employment are paid with funds directly deposited to the student's savings or checking account and are not automatically subtracted from the student bill.
