Through the Student Help program, students who are in good academic standing and are currently enrolled in a minimum of 6 credits may be able to obtain on-campus work. (For these positions, financial aid eligibility is not a factor). The number of Student Help positions are limited. Please be advised that requests for on-campus employment must be made by September 19th.
