On-campus and work-study jobs


On-campus jobs are a convenient way to earn money while attending school. There are many departments and offices who hire students both during the school year and over the summer. As an enrolled student, you may apply for jobs and arrange interviews with prospective faculty & staff employers. Most students do not work more than ten hours per week during the school year in an on-campus position.

Career Services is available to assist you in finding on-campus employment, but we do not directly place students. Each student is responsible for securing his or her own job, including work-study positions.

What is work-study?

Work-study is a federal program that creates jobs for students with financial need, so they can earn money to help pay for educational expenses. The money a student earns from a work-study job does not count toward annual earnings when determining financial need the following year.

Students who are eligible for work-study are responsible for securing their own work-study position and are encouraged to begin looking for jobs even before the school year begins. Career Services can assist students, but we do not place students. Nearly every on-campus job can qualify as a work-study job.

Contact the Financial Aid office to find out if you are eligible for work-study.
