The average Work-Study student spends 10 to 15 hours per week on the job during the academic year.
Departments prefer to hire students who have at least a three-hour block of time available.
Students may only work the number of hours per week indicated on the Job Authorization Form. Students are not permitted to begin work prior to their job placement interview, nor are supervisors authorized to hire any students without proper documentation. As soon as the Authorization Form is completed and returned, the student may begin to work. Students resigning from their jobs should contact the SEO and provide supervisors with at least two weeks notice. The hours worked each week are verified and tabulated by supervisors.
