  • Student employees are subject to tax laws and other employment regulations.
  • Your actual earnings are contingent upon your job placement and hours worked; paychecks are issued biweekly (earnings do not credit to a student's account/balance due).
  • Federal Student Employment is limited to students who demonstrate financial need on the FAFSA.
  • Hired students are required to complete the INS I-9 form and IRS W-4 and supply identification documents before beginning work. Identification documents must be current/unexpired, originals and supplied in person.

Student Employment also includes off-campus jobs with nonprofit agencies.

These opportunities are limited to students who have applied for financial assistance and have been awarded a Federal Student Employment Award (FWS). The jobs are at off-campus sites and require that the students have transportation to and from their assigned jobs. Because students are required to provide transportation, the pay rate is $7.70/hr.
