Dear Administrator, Faculty or Staff Member,
Students will be coming to ask you about Campus Employment. Will you have the answers?
The Center for Career Development provides students with applications for Campus Employment and posts available jobs with campus departments. These are some of the most Frequently Asked Questions that students and departments have regarding Campus Employment:
What programs are available for students to work on campus?
Students can be paid to work under one or more of four programs:
- Federal Work-study: The largest program; students MUST meet Federal Aid requirements.
- Campus Employment: ALL students eligible, but funds more limited.
- Graduate Student Employment
- Graduate Assistantship: Available on a limited basis through certain departments.
How does a student get a Work-study award?
Students must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which may be obtained in community libraries, high school guidance offices, or at Adelphi's Office of Student Financial Services (Levermore Hall, lower level). You may also file the FAFSA online by visiting www.fafsa.ed.gov. By filing online, you will receive results faster than using the paper FAFSA.
Students who do not receive Federal Work-study as a part of their financial aid package may ask a Financial Aid counselor to review their financial aid package once they decide they want to work on campus. Students who do not receive Work-study may be able to find a Campus Employment position or Graduate Student Employment.
Can international students work on-campus?
YES they can! Most of our international students have a visa that restricts the time they can work off campus, so the only practical jobs for them are on campus. But they are not eligible for Federal Work-study. Therefore, our international students can only work through Campus Employment or Graduate Student Employment.
Can graduate students work on campus?
Yes, even if they are part-time, graduate students can work under Campus Employment or Graduate Student Employment. They may also apply for Federal Work-study by filing a FAFSA form, which may be obtained from the Office of Student Financial Services.
How does a student find a campus job?
The first stop is the Center for Career Development in Post Hall.
Center for Career Development staff will...
- Supply an Adelphi student employment application
- Verify their Work-study award or refer them back to the Office of Student Financial Services located in Levermore Hall, lower level
- Grant an exemption (temporarily) to give the student time to complete the FAFSA or request that their Work-study award be reconsidered, or grant a full-year exemption to international students
- Display the job descriptions filed by campus departments
- Provide a list of departments with funds for campus employment (4180), Work-study (4181) or graduate student employment (4182)
- Provide instructions on the job search process
The next step is to call or visit the campus departments where there might be a suitable job. Students should...
- Make copies of their employment applications to give to departments
- Bring copies of their class schedule so they know if they are available when the employer needs them
- Find out the hiring procedure: Will the employer notify them if they are/are not hired? When?
- Continue to visit other hiring departments until they are sure they have been hired for the number of hours they want to work
- Notify the Center for Career Development of any concerns or questions
SPECIAL NOTE TO DEPARTMENTS
What if a department has only Work-study funds and wants to hire a student who cannot obtain Work-study? Or what if the department has NO funds to hire students?
The department may transfer funds from an operating budget or can request Campus Employment funds from the person in charge of the budget for that area or department
Campus Employment is one of the best ways for students to feel connected on campus and aids retention. If you believe that you have meaningful work for a student in your department, but you are not sure how to fund it, please contact our Director, Pat Mitchell.
Sincerely,
Thomas J. Ward, Jr., Director
Elaine Boylan, Associate Director
Allison Clough, Assistant Director
Jonathan Ivanoff, Internship Coordinator/Assistant Director
Florence Catanese, Administrative Assistant
