How do I get Student Employment?
Eligibility for 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 incomes. If you
are uncertain about your eligibility, visit the Office of Financial
Aid to discuss your eligibility with a counselor.
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?
The Office of Career Services will maintain a list of student employment
openings. If a student is interested in working for a department
that has not requested a student worker; 1) Contact the supervisor
to see if they are interested in having a student worker; 2) If
yes, the supervisor must submit the necessary paperwork; 3) Upon
approval, a position will be created. The supervisor should include
the students name in his/her request.
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, or in the
Office of Career Services. You must also complete the I-9, which
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 is available on the back
of the I-9, and typically includes, a driver's license or college
I.D. along with a social security card or birth certificate. The
original documents must be presented, no copies will be accepted.
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?
With the Work Study program and Community Service, 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?
The minimum wage in North Carolina is currently $7.25 an hour. Students
at all times will receive no less than minimum wage.
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 opportunities to perform work-study
off campus?
Yes, Community Service opportunities are available both on and off
campus. The Office of Financial Aid will determine your eligibility.
To find out about community service projects, contact the Career
Services at (910) 630-7257.
