Student Employment

Student employment is a form of financial aid that students earn while working on campus. The program also promotes leadership development, transferable life skills and personal and career development of student employees.

Student Employment Offer

• The student employment offer reflects potential earnings. Students who choose not to work will not receive earnings.
• A student employment offer of $4,000 requires students to work an average of 10-12 hours per week throughout the academic year.  A student employment offer of $2,000 requires students to work an average of 5-6 hours per week throughout the academic year.
• Students will only be paid for hours worked.  Students who work fewer hours than indicated will not earn the full student employment offer.
• Students who did not receive a student employment offer and are interested in working on campus should email the student employment office at [email protected].  

How to Find a Job

• Information about how to apply and interview for jobs will be emailed to enrolled students starting in mid-June.
• Students are responsible for finding their own job and will have the opportunity to apply to a variety of positions.
• All available jobs will be posted online.

Student Employment Payroll

• Students will need to complete employment and payroll forms, similarly to any employee.
• Information about employment and payroll forms will be sent via email in the summer, or after the student secures a job.
• Student payroll is paid every two weeks.
• Students can choose to apply earnings toward institutional charges or to a personal bank account.
