The Federal Work-Study Program — studentaid.gov - is a federal program that provides jobs for students with financial need, allowing them to earn money to help pay educational expenses. Students must be enrolled in a Title IV eligible program to be eligible.
- Once registered for class(es), interested students should come by the Financial Aid Office to complete an application and notify Financial Aid they are interested in Work-Study.
- The Financial Aid Office calculates the student applicant’s need according to the Federal regulations to determine eligibility for Federal Work-Study and forwards eligibility to Student Affairs Coordinator.
- The Student Affairs Coordinator instructs eligible students to apply on the College's website and forwards eligible student’s applications to hiring department.
- Work-Study candidates will be contacted for an interview by the department hiring.
- The Human Resources Coordinator or Director will be informed of the hiring selection and begin hiring paperwork including initiating a background check.
- Once the background check returns, the hiring supervisor will be informed as well as the Student Affairs Coordinator.
- The student will complete all required payroll paperwork and return it to the departmental payroll person.
- The Student Affairs Coordinator will then initiate a contract for that semester and will email the hiring supervisor about their rate of pay and their hours of eligibility and forward to the student and supervisor for signing.
- Student employees will be assigned an employee ID number to clock in and out on either a biometric clock or Coastal Pines Technical College’s web-based timecard system. At the end of each work-week, student employees will need to verify their time on the web-based timecard system. Their weekly time will then be verified by their direct supervisor and the director of the assigned department.
- The Student Affairs Coordinator receives hours worked and salary information on student employees monthly.
