Since many students choose to apply their work-study paychecks directly to their tuition accounts, a payroll deduction is offered, which allows a student to voluntarily apply 100, 75, 50 or 25 percent of every paycheck to his/her tuition account. Payroll deduction enrollment forms are available in Payroll. The percentage desired will be automatically deducted from each paycheck and applied to the student's account. A student may change or cancel the deduction at any time, but the change may take up to seven business days to take effect.

The amount listed on the financial aid offer for federal work-study is an estimate of what a student may earn during an academic year after securing a position on campus. In order to receive federal work-study, your position on campus must be eligible to be paid via federal funds and you must have room in your financial aid budget. If upon securing a job on campus you are not eligible to earn federal work-study, you would still be eligible to work on campus through campus work-study. Students receive federal work-study funds as a bi weekly paycheck for hours actually worked and may not earn the full federal work-study amount listed.

We encourage students to give a two week notice to their supervisor. You are always welcome to look for another position on campus.
