Things to Remember

Students should not work during their class time. It is the student’s responsibility to provide their class schedule to employers to allow a mutually acceptable work schedule. 

  • In order for the University to be able to pay you, the following forms must be completed:
    • W-4
    • I-9 (You will have to provide current identification documents to complete the I-9 form)
    • Payroll Direct Deposit Authorization
    • You have the option of either Direct Deposit or participating in the Skylight PayOptions Program. More Information about Direct Deposit and the Skylight PayOptions Program can be found here.
    • If you do not choose direct deposit or the PayOptions Program, your check will be mailed to the permanent address, listed in WorkDay, on payday.
  • The Financial Aid Office will issue a Job Assignment Form to you. Once you have signed the form, your supervisor and HR Partner/Employment Coordinator will sign and return a copy to the Financial Aid Office. A copy will be given for your records.
  • You will submit your time through Workday under the direction of your supervisor. Please keep track of the available balance of your Federal Work Study award. For off-campus employees, your department will submit your time according to the schedule provided by the Financial Aid Office.
  • On the 15th and last working day of each month, you will receive a pay check for hours you have worked. Work study amounts earned are not automatically applied to your balance at Student Accounts. 
  • Reapply for work study funds for the next school year soon after the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available online.
