Departments will select those to be employed and notify the Financial Aid Office. The Financial Aid Office then submits Work-Study contract information to the departmental payroll person. The newly hired student will complete all required payroll paperwork and return it to the departmental payroll person. On the last day of the month, student employees complete a monthly time sheet signed by their supervisor to be submitted to the departmental payroll person. The Financial Aid Office receives hours worked and salary information on student employees.
Priority is given to students who have a higher cumulative grade point average.
