STUDENT EMPLOYMENT

Campus Jobs
Campus jobs help many UAF students pay for college costs. Approximately 1,000 students are employed in campus jobs. There are many student positions currently available across campus. Some student vacancy announcements have been posted as continuous recruitment. Full-time student status is not required unless specified by a department. However, students that are less than full time are subject to FICA withholding, and those departments which hire part time student employees are subject to the applicable benefit rate charge.

Student employees can work up to 20 hours each week while classes are in session and up to 40 hours when classes are not in session. Pay rates are based on the job classification, and the average pay can vary from $150 to $400 each month. Since there is no "pool" for workers, students apply directly to the departments with position vacancies. Job announcements and more information can be obtained from Career Services, fifth floor Gruening Building, (907) 474-7596, or from Human Resources, Administrative Services Center, (907) 474-7700.

Federal Work Study (FWS)
The Federal Work Study program provides jobs for graduate and undergraduate students with financial need. Job placement and working conditions are similar to regular student employment. To qualify for FWS, students must be eligible for federal financial aid as determined by completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Contact the Financial Aid Office for more information.
