Student Employment

We offer hundreds of on-campus jobs to students each year which provide valuable work experience.

Student Employment Opportunities

Across campus, you’ll find students contributing time and talent to keep operations running—while gaining valuable career skills. These part-time positions are often funded by the federal work-study program as part of a financial aid award package, but campus employment is open to all students.

Federal Work-Study is awarded to qualified students upon completion of the FAFSA and admission to the University. These funds help subsidize student employment and are paid as wages for work performed.

If students do not qualify for Federal Work Study, they can still work on campus. We usually have enough on-campus jobs for all interested students.

When hired for an on-campus job, students are paid directly for hours worked on a biweekly basis. These funds are not automatically applied against tuition. Most students use the wages to purchase books and other educational supplies.
