You do not have to be awarded work-study to work on campus. However, due to budget considerations, many departments can only employ students who have received a work-study award. Many positions pay minimum wage. Depending on the duties and responsibilities, others pay a higher hourly rate. Most USC student employees average 10-12 hours of work per week on average.
Supervisors try to develop work schedules around a student's class schedule.
Student employees are paid monthly. Supervisors must submit time sheets to the Payroll Office no later than the third working day each month. Late timesheets will cause a one-month delay. Paychecks are available on the 15th of each month from the cashier, located on the main floor of the Administration Building. A wide variety of jobs are available and range from maintenance workers to research assistants.
