On-Campus Student Employment FAQs

It depends on what questions you have.  

• If you have questions about qualifying for Federal Work-Study, the hiring process or any forms you need to complete before starting your new on-campus student job, you need to reach out to the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office, specifically the Financial Aid Specialists in charge of Student Employment.
• If you have questions about how to find an on-campus student job, contact the Career Services Center 
• If you have questions about a specific on-campus student job, it is best to reach out to the department who is hiring for that position

The best place to start is by viewing our Career Guides located in the areas of interest section of the Get the Job website.  Once you have a basic template completed, you should schedule a resume appointment with a Career Advisor in the Career Services Center to have your resume reviewed.
