Federal Work Study: 这项联邦计划提供资金支持学生在校工作和选择校外工作. Eligibility is determined on an individual basis.

W&J College Work Study: This employment program is supported by the College and allows students not eligible for federal work study to have a campus job.

Through both of these employment programs, the College is able to offer approximately 600 positions in more than 50 departments as well as job opportunities within the community.

Preference in the hiring process is given to students who are offered Federal Work Study on their financial aid offer. Washington & Jefferson College has partnered with Handshake. Follow this link to claim your account, and search for work study and campus employment opportunities. Positions will be posted after August 15th each year.

Students wishing to work the same job as they held in previous years should contact their supervisor to discuss next steps.

All employment questions should be directed to the Office of Financial Aid.

Completed Work Authorization Forms must be returned to Adam Manno, Assistant Director of Financial Aid & Student Employment Coordinator. A timesheet will only be made available to the student on Web Advisor once the complete work authorization is submitted. Students working for the first time at W&J must complete paperwork with Payroll. Please contact LeeAnn Spencer to complete the forms.

Students are compensated for the number of hours worked. Students may not exceed 10 hours per week. Students cannot begin working on campus until a Work Authorization Form is completed and a timesheet is issued. W&J's pay rates are listed below:

  • Standard - $7.25 an hour
  • Special Skills - $8.00 an hour
  • Special Shift - $8.00 an hour
  • Student Supervisor - $8.40 an hour

所有学生员工都可以通过他们的网络顾问帐户访问他们的W-2. Sign in to Web Advisor as an employee, not a student. You must first give “W-2 Electronic Consent.“这可以在一年中的任何时候做,只需要做一次,而不是每年做一次. 然后,学生可以选择在填写纳税申报表时查看和打印他们的W-2.

Students must include federal work study and campus employment wages as income earned when completing a federal tax return.
