Part-time employment on campus is available through government-funded and University-funded programs. Students who complete the FAFSA and indicate they would like to work on campus are automatically considered for work-study employment.
Federal and Michigan Work-Study Programs
These programs provide funds to students for part-time employment who are US citizens or permanent residents and who have financial need. Students must reapply for work-study each year and meet the Satisfactory Progress Policy requirements.
Specific departmental work-study assignments are made by the Financial Aid Office. Students normally work eight to ten hours per week. When not enrolled in school during the summer, students may work a maximum of 40 hours per week. The hourly rate paid is equivalent to at least minimum wage.
University-Funded Student Employment
University-funded, on-campus employment is available to students, regardless of need. Students may apply directly to the desired departments. On average, 2,000 to 2,500 students are employed on campus each year. Nearly every department utilizes students as employees. Approximately 65 percent of the student employees are employed within these three areas.
Off-Campus Employment
Employment opportunities are also available in the local community. Please see the Career Center postings local jobs for more information.
