Employment opportunities are also available in the local community and through the summer internship program and cooperative education program. Information regarding summer internship and cooperative education programs can be obtained from the University Career Center. These programs provide funds for part-time employment of students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents and who have financial need. Specific departmental work-study assignments are made by the Financial Aid Office.
Students normally work ten hours per week.
When not enrolled in school during the summer and other vacation periods, students may work a maximum of 40 hours per week. The hourly rate paid is equivalent to at least the minimum wage. Students must reapply for work-study each year. Students may apply directly to the desired departments after arriving on campus. Many students obtain employment in the residence halls, the Memorial Union Building, Student Development Complex, learning centers, library, computer centers, and academic departments.
