Student Employment Opportunities

Important Please Read!

Dear Santa Monica College Student, 

Welcome to the On-Campus Student Employment website. In this website you will find a list of job opportunities in various departments. At the top of each job description you will see the words "*Federal Work Study" and/or "*Student Help":

Federal Work Study - Federal Work Student (FWS) is only available to students who have applied for and received Financial Aid. You must have completed the FAFSA and received an award letter. If you are an F-1 Visa student you may not apply for Federal Work Study positions. FWS students are paid 100% through their Financial Aid Award letter.

Student Help - F-1 Visa students can apply for all Student Help positions. Many of these positions require that you already have a Social Security Card. If this is not stated in the job advertisement, contact the department directly for their requirements. Student Help employees are paid 100% through the departments they work in. Not all departments have a Student Help budget.

 All On-Campus positions pay $8 per hour and students can work up to 20 hours a week during the Fall and Spring semesters. Students may increase their hours (with supervisor’s permission) during the Winter and Summer sessions.

 About this Website: Santa Monica College is an environmentally conscious campus. This site does not allow for printing. If you wish to apply for a position listed below, please print the information for applying on a piece of paper.
