22. Is job placement available? (Federal Work Study link)

No. However, available positions are posted with the Department of Human Resources located in the Ferguson Social Sciences Bldg and the Office of Financial Aid. We are located in the Halliday Student Services Building-Office 100.

A student must be issued a WORK-PERMIT from the Office of Financial Aid before seeking interviews for work-study positions.

WORK-PERMITS will be available one week before the beginning of each semester.

23. How much and when will I get paid?

The maximum award varies per award year, however for the last award year, the maximum Fall/Spring award was $3,000. The maximum summer award was $800. You can only earn up to your award. The pay rate is generally minimum wage. You can only work up to 19 hours per week.

Students will be paid in the form of a bi-weekly check which can be picked up with a current student ID at the Cashier's window in the McDowell Administration Building.

If a student owes a balance to the university, all or part of the check may be retained to pay toward the balance.
