Work Study is a federal student assistance program that provides part-time jobs
for students with financial need. Campus Employment is an employment
program funded by the school for those that do not qualify for federal work
study. The purpose of these programs is to provide students with
employment which will assist them in meeting their academic expenses as well as
learning knowledge of work ethics and responsibility. The program encourages
community service work.
Students may participate in the student employment program if they have been
awarded Federal Work Study or Campus Employment by the Financial Assistance
Office and if they are maintaining satisfactory
academic progress as a full-time student. Students must apply for financial assistance to qualify for the student employment program. Students can not be placed
in a position unless they have completed this process, regardless if they have
had a position in previous years. Work Study/Campus Employment is awarded
on a first-come, first-served basis. The first priority date to apply is March 1st.
A Work Study/Campus Employment Manual is
available to review for more details about the program. This manual sets
forth guidelines to clarify the working relationship between the student and the
supervisor in order to promote better communication. The manual also
explains the rights and responsibilities of students and their employers. |
