Things you should bring with you when seeking employment on campus:

- All students seeking work study positions, whether Federal or Non-Federal must complete an application and submit to the Human Resources Office. Students will then be matched with available positions and interviews scheduled with the supervisor. Students may also inquire of teachers, staff members, etc. about available positions.
- Students may have only one campus job. Permission must be obtained to work more than one job from the Office of Human Resources.
- Students are allowed to work a maximum of six (6) hours each week. Any hours above six (6) must be approved prior to working by the Director of Financial Aid.

- Paychecks will be deposited directly into the checking account which we have on file, obtained from your voided check. The direct deposit will be made on the last working day of each month.
- Time sheets are due to your supervisor upon completion of your work day on the 15th of each month. Supervisors will then submit completed time sheets to the Human Resources Office on the 16th of each month by 5 p.m. If the due date changes because of a holiday or break, students will be notified by email and in chapel announcements.
- New timesheets will be distributed by your supervisor. Timesheets will not be placed in student mailboxes as in previous semesters. Please contact your supervisor to obtain your new timesheet.
- A supervisor must always verify the hours on a student time sheet and sign the time sheet prior to payment.
- If you do not receive your pay as expected, please contact the Human Resources Assistant.
- By submitting time sheets you are certifying that they are a true and accurate statement of hours worked by you.
