Welcome to Student Employment

Many students have found that working on campus can be a meaningful and valuable part of their educational experience.  While the College does not place, assign or guarantee students a job, the staff of Student Employment will guide and help students with their search for campus employment.

1. To be eligible for campus employment a student must be enrolled in 3 or more accredited classes during the semester.
2. A student must complete the Application for Employment and the Employment Referral Form to apply for a campus job.
3. The Application for Employment will be sent to the department that has the job opening.  The department will interview and hire the student that can best perform the work of the department.  
4. Before a student can start work all state and federal paperwork must be completed on or before the first day of work.  Required paperwork includes State and Federal tax forms as well as the Employment Eligibility Form I-9.  A student must present the appropriate forms of identification when completing the Form I-9.
5. A student can work up to 20 hours per week.
6. Student jobs are hourly and will be paid at the state or federal minimum wage, whichever is higher. 
7. Mandatory direct deposit to a savings or checking account is required of all College of Wooster employees.  The student employee must provide the account number and the 9-digit ABA/routing number for the bank.
8. If a student has work-study funds (Federal Work-Study or Campus Employment), they will have priority in the application and referral  process for several weeks at the start of the Fall Semester.
9. When requested, the Student Employment Office will list jobs for off campus employers.
10. The employment process can be very competitive so if you do not get a job the first time you try we encourage you to be patient, flexible and persistent.
