If it's paid with one check, we split the annual amount evenly for each term (fall, winter, and spring). If it's paid with two checks, we split the first check in two-thirds for fall term and one-third for winter term. Then for the second check we receive, we split one-third for winter term and two-thirds for spring term.

How much can I earn?

Effective Fall 2024, on-campus positions will have 3 hourly pay rates. Below is an example of how much students can earn over the course of the academic year (30 weeks).

How many hours a week can I work?

Although a student can work more than one job on campus simultaneously, studentsÌýcannot work more than 20 hours a week during any periods of enrollment.ÌýDuring periods of non-enrollment (i.e., winter break or spring break) students can work up to 40 hours per week.

What's the difference between Federal Work-Study and Campus Employment?

Students with Federal Work-Study have a "demonstrated need" (determined by the FAFSA) for additional funding to pay for college. In addition to grants and loans, they're given the opportunity to work on campus. Approximately 75% of their earnings is paid by Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ and 25% comes from the federal government.

Students with Campus Employment also demonstrate a need for additional funding to help pay for college; however, not as much of a need as students with Federal Work-Study. Students with Campus Employment are paid 100% by Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ.

Students without Federal Work-Study or Campus Employment have the opportunity to work on campus, too. These students didn't receive Federal Work-Study or Campus Employment as part of their financial aid award, but they still have an opportunity to work on campus.

Does Federal-Work Study or Campus Employment get subtracted from my bill at the beginning of the term?

No. You are paid for the hours you work.

Can I work on campus over the summer?

The Summer Employment Program is administered by the Human Resource Office from mid-June through August. Employment may be full-time or part-time.Ìý More information about Summer Employment is available on Human Resources page.
