First Year Students Studying Remotely:
Work study eligibility will be removed for first-year students studying remotely for the spring semester as first-year students will not be permitted to work remotely. Removing the work study portion for spring will reduce the amount of the grant adjustment necessary for those who have current work study eligibility as a portion of their financial aid award. For instance, the cost of attendance is $3,595 less than expected for the spring. Instead of reducing grant eligibility by the same amount, the removal of $1,250 in work study would bring the necessary grant reduction down to $2,345.

First Year Students Studying On Campus:
There are expected to be limited work study positions which can be done on campus. It is the policy that all first-year students will work in Dining Services. Initial priority will be given to those who are eligible for federal work study. As always, students may opt not to work, but choosing not to work will not alter your financial aid award. Please note that Dining Services employment is not able to be performed remotely. Employment and payment for hours worked will cease upon leaving campus.

Continuing Students:
There are expected to be limited work study positions which can be done from on and off campus. Initial priority will be given to those who are eligible for federal work study. As always, students may opt not to work, but choosing not to work will not alter your financial aid award.

International Students:
International students who are not located on campus are not permitted to work. This portion of your financial aid eligibility will be removed for fall and your grant will be reduced $1,250 less than if you were able to work. International students attending on campus may be permitted to work and will have a work contribution on their financial aid offer.
