Student Employment

The Student Employment Office does not provide personnel placement. The student must make their own job selection. Students are expected to initiate the placement process by assessing the on-line Student Job Opportunities Directory and make contact with a future supervisor.

                            Student Eligibility and Responsibilities

You must be enrolled to be eligible to participate in the Federal Work Study during the fall/spring term, and have a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0.

Students are responsible to their supervisors for punctual, regular, and efficient performance of job duties. Supervisors must be notified in advance of any absence. Students are expected to remain in their chosen job for the entire semester, September to December, or January to April. If you resign your position or plan to withdraw from the Federal Work Study Program, you must notify your supervisor, the Office of Financial Aid, and the Office of Student Employment. If you plan to work a different job for the remainder of the semester, you are responsible for initiating the placement process and making contact with a future supervisor.
