Pennsylvania 15705 Finances Employment Employment programs provide an opportunity for students to earn money to help finance their educational expenses. Students may be employed at minimum wage for up to 20 hours per week when classes are in session and up to 40 hours per week during vacation periods. Wages for hours worked are paid every other week directly to the student. However, there are generally more students seeking employment than there are jobs available. Students with work-study awards are not guaranteed that they will obtain employment.
Students are responsible for securing their own positions on campus.
Registration procedures for College Central are available in the Student Employment Center and at the Financial Aid counter in the lobby of Clark Hall. Registering with College Central will enable students to conduct their part-time job search 24 hours a day. This employment program places FWSP-eligible students in community service positions available both on and off campus. In addition to earning money, students gain practical work experience related to their academic major. The Student Community Service Office located in 103 Pratt Hall assists students with placement.
