Work-Study Guidelines
Approval Comes First
You must be approved for work-study by the Financial Aid Department before HR can process your employment.
20-Hour Weekly Limit
Students may work up to 20 hours in a calendar week, up to the total amount awarded on your work-study card. For work-study purposes, the week begins on Sunday.
Stay Enrolled Full-Time
You must remain a full-time student to keep your work-study position. Dropping below full-time ends your employment immediately.
No Overlap with Class Hours
Work-study hours must be scheduled outside of your class times. You cannot work during your scheduled classes. Supervisors and students share responsibility for staying within awarded hours.
Paychecks aren't issued until all required paperwork is submitted to the Payroll Department. Interested in a department that doesn't have a current opening posted? Check with faculty or staff in that area directly — positions can open outside of what's listed here.
