Work Study & Campus Employment

Work-Study jobs are a great way to earn money to supplement or even take the place of loans, but there are a few things to keep in mind:

Students must find their own jobs. No student is guaranteed a job.
Employers are made aware of eligible students for FWS, and these students are to be given priority in the hiring process.
A maximum of twenty hours (20) per week may be worked during enrollment periods.
The current wage rate is $7.25/hour. Students are paid on a bi-weekly basis for the number of hours worked.

FINDING A JOB

Review student employment positions
Check to see if you qualify for work-study (noted on your Financial Aid Package).
Complete your paperwork (you will receive further information from the payroll office once you're enrolled as a student).

Go to Handshake.
Follow the prompts to log in and create your account with your @francis.edu email.
Follow the prompts to fill out your profile information as completely as possible (minimum for on-campus job consideration: Contact information, Education, Work & Volunteer Experience and/or Organizations & Extracurriculars).
Select "Jobs".
Select the "On-Campus" filter tab.
View and apply to jobs that interest you (no resume required, your completed Handshake profile takes the place of this).
Departments will contact you if they'd like to pursue you as a candidate.

Summer employment is based on the discretion of the department.
Students carrying 3 or more credits may work a maximum of 20 hours per week when classes are in session.
When classes are out of session, they may work up to 35 hours per week.
