Submitted by webteam_admin on Wed, 03/18/2020 - 13:10

Regarding the Federal guidelines concerning the Work-Study Program. Work study is not open for new hires until further notice.

Current work-study students are able to work remotely (telecommute), assuming they can perform their necessary job functions remotely and that they have as much remote supervision as possible, considering the logistical challenges Meaning a reasonable and regular level of direct communication with their supervisor around daily tasks, production expectations, dealing with questions or problems that may arise while working remotely. Touch base with your supervisor. 

 All award conditions still apply: 

  • Students’ may not exceed their maximum gross Work-Study award 
  • Students’ must maintain an enrollment level of 6 (eligible) credits for any quarter(s) they are working 
  • Students’ may not work more than 19 hours per week during an active quarter; the winter quarter is still considered an active quarter 

If you cannot work

If you are unable to complete your Work-Study assignments as a result of the closure, and your job duties do not allow you to work remotely you may still receive their winter quarter Work-Study allotment, providing: 

  • The student did not turn down the opportunity to work remotely
  • The student continues to check-in with their supervisor and track their time in TLR 
  • The student does not exceed their maximum gross Work-Study award 
  • The student maintains an enrollment level of 6 (eligible) credits 
  • The student does not work more than 19 hours per week
