Students are paid minimum wage and work 10 hours a week during the Fall and Spring terms. Their schedules are flexible which allow the students to work around their classes. On the first day of classes, students may find a job by checking the positions posted outside the Student Financial Aid Office. Students then interview with the supervisor listed and if hired are placed on the University's payroll so they can receive a monthly paycheck. Students are not guaranteed a position and all jobs are filled on a first come first serve basis.
Individual departments pay for a student's wages out of their own budget.
Therefore, the number of hours and the wage rate for a student is determined by each individual department hiring students. Most of the campus employment positions are posted by the individual departments. The positions are career related and provide work experience that coincides with the student's major. They may work for an eligible employer in their home town or in any other county that they are interested in. Employers benefit under this program because they are reimbursed for a portion of the student's wages.
