Once you begin working, your hours will be submitted to payroll and you will receive a regular paycheck. Your Work Study award is reduced by the full amount of your earnings until the entire award is earned. Students may work up to 20 hours per week during Fall and Spring Semesters, including finals week. Student staff may work up to 40 hours per week during break periods. These maximum hours apply to all students regardless of the number of jobs held on campus.
Summer term is the exception.
Student staff may work up to 40 hours per week if they are not enrolled for six or more contact hours of class per week. One 6 eek class equals 8.8 contact hours per week. When the contact hours are less than six, the student may begin working up to 40 hours per week. There is no university minimum work hour requirement. However, individual departments may specify minimum hours and specific scheduled times as a job requirement.
