Work Study & Campus Employment

Working on Campus

Students must find their own jobs. No student is guaranteed a job. Employers are made aware of students who are eligible for FWS and these students are to be given priority in the hiring process. A maximum of twenty hours (20) per week may be worked during periods of enrollment. The current wage rate is $7.25/hour. Students are paid on a monthly basis for the number of hours worked.

How to find a job

1. Review student employment positions
2. Check to see if you qualify for work study (noted on your Financial Aid Package).
3. Complete your paperwork (you will receive further information from the payroll office once you're enrolled as a student):
   • Form I-9
   • Form W-4
   • A copy of your photo ID and your signed social security card
   • Certificate of Residency form
4. Look and listen for potential jobs: it's your responsibility to find a job.  Some examples of areas with work study positions include:
   • Academic departments
   • Administrative departments (Computer Services, Admissions/Financial Aid, Registrar)
   • Student services departments (Campus Post Office, ACE, Frankies/Torvian, Athletics)
5. Each month, you must submit your time sheets.
