Students not receiving an employment award will have no limit on their earnings. They may work as much as their schedule and employer permits, up to 26 hours a week. Students receiving a Work Study award can earn up to the amount of the award while employed through the Work Study program.

After all Work Study monies have been earned, the student's wages will automatically come from the employer's budget, unless that employer notifies the student that there are no funds available to continue his/her employment. The student then has no limit to the amount that can be earned. The Office of Scholarships & Financial Aid will notify SE&CS if the employment award amount changes for a student. SE&CS will check to see if the student is employed on campus, and if so, notify the department of the change. However, the student receives the revised award notice before SE&CS is notified and should consider that the revised award notice could affect their employment status.

Students are prohibited from working on-campus during a scheduled class. If a student's class has been cancelled, the student may work during that class time ONLY if the cancellation is noted on the student's time card on the Kronos (payroll) system.

If questions arise regarding the earnings limit, contact SE&CS at X 2012. Federal audits are conducted on the earning limits, and allowing a student to earn more than the amount awarded can seriously jeopardize the student and/or the entire University.
