The purpose of the Student Employment Program is to assist students in meeting some
of their expenses through employment and to provide an orderly process through which
students are hired on campus.
The material in this handbook has been prepared to assist both campus supervisors
and student employees with the policies and procedures pertaining to the employment
of students at the Ferris State University campus. Other than a few procedural differences,
the policies and guidelines in this handbook apply equally to Work Study, and Non-Work
Award student employees.
The Student Employment Office reports to the Financial Aid Office, which is a part
of Enrollment Services. The Student Employment Office also handles off-campus employment
to better serve the students who utilize the services provided.
The Student Employment Office is responsible for posting the open job positions, processing
hiring forms and for inputting students into the payroll system.
Ferris State University has made a commitment to give priority to those students who show a need to work and have been awarded Work Study.
