Getting Started
When you receive a Federal Work Study Award from the Office of Financial Aid, simply come to the Office of Civic Engagement with your employment authorization and a copy of your award letter. We have a list of job openings in the office for you to browse through, and you can start working as soon as the same day. It is that simple!
When you have found a job, come to our office and we will provide you with the necessary paperwork to be on the payroll for CSFWS. You will need to get a couple of signatures and fill out your tax information at Human Resources after you leave our office, but the process does not take very long. Please remember to bring identification with you as well as your paperwork from Financial Aid.
Many students find that they stay with the same position throughout their stay at the University; however, some students prefer a variety of experiences, need to find a better location or schedule, or for other reasons wish to change job sites. If you are already a CSFWS student and would like to change jobs, the process is even simpler than before. To switch jobs within our program, all you need to do is talk to the new supervisor, come in for a hire form with your new account number on it, and bring it to Human Resources. You will not have to fill out your tax information again.
