Work-Study
Work-study is a student employment program that allows eligible students to work part-time in (mostly) on-campus positions. Work-study jobs are incredibly convenient since they allow students to schedule their work hours around their academic schedule.
How to get awork-study position.
Because work-study is a form of need-based financial aid, students must first complete the FAFSA to determine their eligibility to participate.
If you need help completing the work-study steps, see your supervisor or the Financial Aid Office on your campus.

Once the form has been received and the student is confirmed to be eligible by the Financial Aid office, the student will be notified via e-mail and will be added to the Student Work-Study D2L Handbook. Students may then begin looking for a position on the Work-Study Job Board.

The student is required to complete and sign all employment forms:
- Work Authorization Form
- Federal W-4 Form
