Hiring Student Workers
Student Employment Compensation
Compensation for working on campus is determined by the department in which a student works. The Office of Student Financial Aid only determines the total amount a student can earn per semester for Federal Work Study; the department determines how much a student earns per hour. For reference, .
Departments should note that once a student has earned their allotted federal work-study amount for the semester and/or academic year, the student is no longer eligible for work-study and the student must be paid from the department鈥檚 budget (as a Student Assistant) or they can no longer work for the remainder of the semester or academic year.
