How do I get Student Employment?
Eligibility for the Student Employment is determined by
the results of the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Eligibility
can change from year to year due to changes in parent or
student income. The Financial Aid Office will review student's
files annually and award Student Employment to students
who file the FAFSA and are eligible.
Since I have Federal work-study, will
I be guaranteed a campus job?
It is the student's responsibility to find a job. Neither
the Financial Aid Office nor the Career Services Office
is responsible for finding a job for students.
How do I find a job?
When notifications about student campus job openings are
received, they are posted to Career Services. Postings are
updated throughout the year. Students are also encouraged
to contact campus sites directly to see if a position is
open. They should also be alert to flyers or posters around
campus advertising student job openings and pursue any available
jobs that interest them.
Are there any special forms I have to
complete?
All students who work on campus must complete tax-withholding
forms in order for the college to be in compliance with
Federal and College policy. These forms are available in
the Payroll Office. One of the forms, the I-9, is a federal
form that certifies your eligibility to work in the United
States. The I-9 requires that you provide specific forms
of identification. Detailed information about accepted forms
of identification is available on the back of the I-9. Typical
types of accepted identification are a driver's license
or college I.D. and a social security card or birth certificate.
I've been awarded Student Employment;
am I required to work on campus? Will I owe more money to the College
if I don't work?
You are not required to work on campus or complete a certain
number of hours. If you do work on campus, you will earn
a paycheck to compensate you for any hours worked, just
as you would any other job. You may use your income toward
your educational expenses, at your discretion, including
toward miscellaneous expenses. Students are not required
to use their student employment earnings for tuition. The
balance you owe to the college is not affected by your employment.
What is the difference between work-study
and non-work study jobs?
There is no difference in the way that you will be paid.
However, work-study wages are excluded from your income
when you file the FAFSA (you must list them on Worksheet
C-Exclusions from Income). Those earnings are not considered
as funds available to help meet your educational expenses,
because they were used for that purpose when they were earned.
How much will I earn?
It cannot be less than minimum wage. The current minimum wage is
$6.15 per hour.
How and when will I get paid?
Students will be paid on a biweekly cycle. Pay schedules
are available in the Payroll Office.
Are there work-study jobs available off
campus?
Yes, there are some opportunities for students to work in
community service jobs at off campus sites and be paid from
Federal Work-Study funds. You can find out about the specific
positions available by contacting
in the Career Services Office.
