This college work program (need-based) allows students to work on campus at the prevailing minimum wage. Work awards are calculated on 13 hours per week for each 15-week semester. The maximum work award will be indicated on the student’s award letter. Timesheets are completed online daily and require the approval of the student's supervisor. Earnings are issued bi-weekly through the University's payroll system. By accepting the Work-Study award, the student can agree to the earnings being applied by the University to any outstanding balance on the student’s account. If the student does not have a due balance, the earnings will be issued directly to the student. Applicable federal and state withholding will apply to earnings.
