Work Study

A student who applies for work study is not guaranteed a position. Funds available for work study are not sufficient to accommodate all requests. Students should apply early in the school year to make direct contact with those areas they are interested in.

Students interested in working on campus must first apply for federal aid by completing a FAFSA. International students are exempt from this requirement. A work study application must be completed.
Eligibility for federal work study will be determined by the Financial Aid Office based on information provided by the FAFSA.
Campus work study supervisors are provided access to the list of eligible applicants. The supervisor is responsible for interviewing, hiring, and evaluating their work study and must submit a Work Study Hiring Sheet to the Dean of Enrollment and Retention Services for final approval before the student begins working.
Students selected for work study must complete payroll information in the office of Enrollment and Retention Services.
Once the work study hiring sheet has been submitted by the supervisor and approved by the Dean of Enrollment and Retention Services and the payroll paperwork is complete, the student will be authorized to clock work study hours. Students working in an area where CLAWS is accessible should clock their hours electronically. Other students must complete a paper timesheet. The record of hours must be submitted to the Financial Aid Office each month by the due date in order for the student to receive payment on the last working day of the month.

Limited institutional funds are available to employ students who may not qualify for federal work study funds. To apply for these funds, a student must follow the same process as for Federal Work Study.
