Getting Paid
Timesheets are due the 1st of each month for the previous month's work. Students can work up to a maximum of 19 hours a week. Work-study Timesheets verify that you have worked the allotted numbers of hours so that payment can be made. Time sheets must be completed by the student and signed by his/her supervisor. Timesheets must be turned into the Financial Aid Office by noon on the 1st to be paid on the 25th. It is recommended that you keep a copy of your time sheet for your records. Work-study paychecks can either be direct deposited to your personal account or you will receive a pay card.
Late time sheets will be paid the following month.
