Who Is Eligible

Upper-class Students on financial aid with work study or campus job portion of their award have first priority for all campus jobs, except in the case of Dining Services, Housekeeping, and America Reads/America Counts Tutoring where first year students have priority. New Transfers and Ada Comstocks on Work-Study are free to apply for any on-campus or off-campus jobs they want.

Work-study students have been offered a work study opportunity by the college to meet their need for aid and campus employers have an obligation to ensure that they have that opportunity. Students can check their own Work-Study eligibility on their Banner Web account. It is the student's responsibility to locate her own campus job to fulfill this portion of her aid package. In an effort to offer work study students a wide range of options, employers are asked to advertise all student jobs on JOBX until October 1 before accepting an application from a student who does not have work study. This also means that a non-work-study student who held the position the last year may not automatically continue the job the following year. That job must be advertised in the spring of the year for the next academic year so that work-study eligible students have the opportunity to apply for it. Also, no student is eligible to hold the same OCIP Internship for more than one year.

Traditional age first year students do not have priority for campus jobs outside those offered in the Job Fair at the opening of school. Others who do not have priority for regular campus jobs include:

* Graduate students

* Students who have been offered a loan only as financial aid

* Students who receive no financial aid at all

* Students already holding STRIDE, various Intern, Head Resident, House Coordinator or House Community Advisor positions

In some years there are plenty of jobs available for all students, whether on aid or not, but in this economic climate it is more important than ever to provide jobs to those students who have applied for and been found eligible for financial aid. If a non-aid student held a position in your department last year, unfortunately she is not automatically eligible for it again this year. The job must be advertised for aided students until October 1. We ask your cooperation in adhering to the College's policy.
