Students can work up to 8 hours
per day, 40 hours per week between June 1st and the first day of fall semester.

office cannot guarantee an employer will find a qualified student.)

Employers are in charge of the
hiring/selection process.

Work-Study students are covering
part of their educational costs by working, rather than increasing their
loan/debt amount.
