Students seek work study positions by completing the work study job application and returning it to Human Resources. The application will not secure a position for you, but it will allow Human Resources to assist you in your search for a job. Human Resources refers students to work study supervisors to assist in the job search. The starting rate is $7.20 per hour and final hiring decisions are made by each supervisor. The college work study eligibility amount listed needs to be earned. THE AMOUNT IS NOT GUARANTEED. However, having work study eligibility increases a student's chances of securing a job. Students are paid bi-weekly.

* Student workers are important members of the Hamline community. We view campus employment as an essential part of your educational and professional development. Through campus jobs, you have the opportunity to acquire skills and expertise that build resumes and launch careers.
* A work-study award does not guarantee you a job on campus. You are expected, with our help, to find your own job. While this is a competitive process, Hamline has established procedures to assist you in securing a job.
* Most new students will expect to begin working on campus with our largest employers: dining service, physical plant, athletic department, or the libraries. As you acquire experience and focus you will move into employment in other departments or continue where you started, with increased responsibilities.
* Campus employment hours and wages vary, but you can expect to begin at $7.20 per hour, working 6-15 hours per week.
* The Financial Aid Office (FAO) handles award distribution, and payroll details are handled through the Payroll Office. Human Resources can assist you in securing a campus job through the referral program. These three offices share a commitment to help you succeed in the campus employment program.
