Rules & Policies

Changing Jobs

The Work-Study Office and all employers encourage students to remain in their positions the entire academic year. We realize, however, that school work is the students primary responsibility. Should a conflict arise between classes and work schedule, or the job does not allow sufficient time for studies, the student can terminate his or her position, or transfer to a different department. Students dissatisfied with their positions should attempt to work out the difficulties with their employer before transfering. The Work-Study Office can provide counseling for anyone experiencing difficulties. In the event you decide to transfer you must give two weeks advanced notice to your present employer. Leaving your position will cause you to lose all longevity and merit increases, and you will begin at base wage for your new title.

Additional Work-Study Jobs

Employers and students alike are asked to dedicate a minimum of ten hours of work per week in one job to ensure that students reach their earnings limit by June. For this reason, no student may be employed in more than one department at any given time without prior permission from the Work-Study Coordinator. Any student desiring such authorization should contact the Coordinator in person. Permission is granted if the student cannot reach his award limit through his present job alone or if the second position is more relevant to his career interests.
