Be sure to select your search criteria from the "Limit Jobs Searched" box on the lower left of the screen, then search.

If you would like to work for a specific department or person, contact them right away. Ask if they have any positions available. If not, ask if they know of anyone with a job opening related to your interests. Work-study students should feel free to investigate any off-campus, nonprofit organizations, but do keep in mind that all off-campus organizations MUST BE NONPROFIT to be eligible to participate in the Federal Work-Study Program. If you do find a job at an off-campus agency, please contact our office. We have additional paperwork for all off-campus employers.

You may have only one work-study job. However, you may have two jobs, either two non-work study jobs or one non-work study and one work-study job.

Your total work-study allotment is to be earned during the 2002-2003 academic year, beginning September 3, 2002 and ending May 17, 2003.

Keep track of how much money you earn. (Your cumulative earnings will show on your check stub.)

You submit your weekly hours to your supervisor on a time sheet. Your supervisor must submit your hours to the Payroll Office by 10:00 am on Friday.

Student checks are now mailed directly to your job site every Friday. "Direct deposit" is an option, not a requirement. If you choose this option a check stub specifying the amount deposited will be mailed to your work address.

All of your earnings for each pay period will be included in one check. If you have more than one job, please specify to which employer you would like your check sent.

Be enrolled or accepted for enrollment in a degree or certificate program at UMD.

And

Be enrolled at least half-time:

• Six or more credit hours as an undergraduate student.
  OR
• Four and a half or more credit hours as a graduate student.

If you have not worked for the University during the last academic year or never worked here, you will need to complete the W-4 and I-9 forms before you begin working.

The W-4 form helps the Payroll Office determine your tax deductions. You can complete this form at the CRC.

The I-9 form is used to verify your citizenship and eligibility to work here in the U.S. This form must be completed at the time of your hire at the CRC. To complete this form you must provide two forms of identification or a passport. Of the two forms one must be a photo ID (driver's license, UMD student ID, etc.), and the other may be a social security card or a certified copy of a birth certificate.
