A student's work schedule must not coincide with the student's class schedule. It is the responsibility of both the student and supervisor to insure that a student does not work during scheduled class and lab times. If a student's class or lab is canceled, and the student works during that time, that notation should be made on the timesheet for that pay period. Earnings from the Work-Study program are taxable income. We recommend students check with their tax advisor for specific tax filing information.
Specific training is provided by each individual department.
The position a student accepts carries with it some responsibilities as well as some benefits. The student is accountable for the work that they do. This work is important to the University. Regardless of the position held by the student, the student is learning and practicing important skills that will be needed the rest of their working life. The Work-Study payroll process is a cooperative effort between student employees, supervisors, the Office of Financial Assistance, the Comptroller's Office, and the Bursar's Office.
