FAQs

No. While some positions are work-study only, many are open to all students. Some students may be eligible for a work-study award as part of their financial aid package. There will be jobs posted designated as 'work-study', meaning only students with this award are qualified to apply. Students with work-study can also apply to jobs on-campus that are not designated as 'work-study'!

Many of our part-time jobs can be flexible with the hours you work. If a specific number of hours is required, it will be included in the job posting. All of our part-time employees are limited to working no more than 29 hours per workweek.
