We are dedicated to helping students find a job on campus and ensuring that they get the most out of their employment experiences throughout their time at 麻豆产精国品.

On-campus employment provides a supportive, non-threatening environment where students can gain valuable job skills like communicating effectively with the public, understanding the value of teamwork, learning the significance of personal responsibility and accountability in a work environment, developing time management and computer skills, and building self-confidence. Simply the act of completing the application process for on-campus jobs gives students an opportunity to experience real-world job search scenarios; highlighting the importance of well-developed resumes and cover letters, as well as providing valuable interview experience.

We look forward to helping students understand and make the most of the valuable career skills they can gain from their on-campus employment experiences at 麻豆产精国品.

The following are three ways that you can assist your students:

  1. Help to ensure your student has the necessary identification documents to complete mandatory employment forms.  The most common issue that students face when hired for a job is not having their original, unexpired I-9 documents with them on campus. Please refer to this list to ensure that your student comes to campus with the federally required ID documents. 
  2. Encourage your students to explore employment options while maintaining balance with their academics.  On average students work eight to twelve hours per week, however balance is the key and individual work commitments will vary from student to student.
  3. Talk to your students about their work.  By exploring career paths now, many students are able to identify future goals.  While maintaining employment provides positive financial benefits, the experience also assists students as they explore the myriad of options ahead.

As always, if you have any questions that aren鈥檛 addressed here, feel free to contact our office.

Student Employment FAQ

Federal Work Study (FWS) is a federally-funded financial aid program awarded to students based on their eligibility determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) along with other financial aid criteria. Funding for this program is limited. Students are awarded a specific amount, and the federal government subsidizes the wages to the employer. This means that 麻豆产精国品 pays a portion of the wages and FWS pays the remaining portion. Please Note:  The receipt of a financial aid award does not guarantee a job. 
This is a common misconception and we are happy to provide clarification. Students are not allowed to do homework or study while at work at their on-campus job, regardless of whether they are work study or non-work study employees. The purpose of the Federal Work Study program (FWS), according to the Department of Education, is as follows:  鈥淭he FWS Program provides funds for part-time employment to help needy students to finance the costs of postsecondary education. [鈥 A student鈥檚 FWS compensation is earned when the student performs the work.鈥�

Yes. You are required to adhere to the policies and requirements of your department as well as your job description. Failure to do so can result in your termination from the position.
