Campus Jobs

This page is a resource for you to learn how to get involved on-campus in a workplace setting




Work-Study

What is Work-Study?

  • Need-based financial aid determined by filing the FAFSA.

If eligible, what should you do next?

  • See schools required paperwork for on-campus positions.

  • Once submitted and approved, can begin searching for jobs as early as mid-July.

What you should do if you don't have a position by the end of the first week of classes?

  • contact career coach/center and possibly set up a meeting.

But what if you don't apply for work study?

Non-Work-Study

These are just like regular working positions posted through the school's departments.

  • A disadvantage of non-work-study is the limited number of positions as compared to work study.

  • If you don't apply for work-study, stay proactive and consistent when searching for a position.

  • Use your college's provided job search resource.

What if you don't apply for work-study and there aren't any available positions on campus?

  • Get in contact with your schools career center, as they usually have connections and positions posted for jobs off-campus.

  • A disadvantage to this is that you will need transportation to and from the place of work.
