Overview

The Office of the Provost supports the student employment program by providing funds to cover 50% of eligible student wages. The total amount of funding provided to a particular school or department, or for a particular student, may be limited. In order to be eligible for 50% central funding, student wages must meet the following criteria:

• The student must be an undergraduate student that qualifies for need based financial aid.
• The student must be enrolled full-time.
• Wages must be paid as Time Entry Wage (hourly wages). 
• The student must be paid on the weekly payroll.
• Hourly wage cannot exceed the Level 3 wage rate per hour.
• The wages must be earned and paid during the academic year including term recesses.
• Wages charged to a sponsored award (grant) are not eligible.
• Wages charged to Agency Accounts or Community Service accounts are not eligible.
• Wages charged for work of a religious nature are not eligible.
• Wages charged to Associated Student Agencies are not eligible.
• Students should not work more than 19 hours per week, except during term recesses.

Accounting

The student wages are charged 50% to the department and 50% to the Provost's Office during the payroll costing process.

Community Service Credit

The University allocates a portion of its Federal Work-Study Grant to support 75% of eligible wages of students working in approved community service organizations (or 100% of eligible wages of students working in the America Reads and America Counts Programs). Student wages must be eligible for the funding according to the guidelines of the Federal Work-Study Program and the programs must be approved annually through the Student Employment Office. Funds are limited and all applicants may not be approved.
