2024-2025 Student Handbook

Student Employment

Student employment positions at Carroll fall into two categories: work- study and regular. Work-study positions are funded 75 percent by the federal government and 25 percent by the college. Work-study is a part of a total financial aid award that is based on financial need. Work-study awards are based upon either a ten- or fifteen- hour workweek. Regular college positions are part-time student jobs funded entirely by Carroll and may be available if a student does not qualify for work-study funds.

Student employment positions are available with nearly every academic and administrative department on campus. A number of off-campus positions with various community service organizations are also available to work-study eligible students. The wage for all positions is the higher of the state or federal minimum wage. Listings of open positions and their supervisors are available at the beginning of each semester and 2-3 weeks before the end of the Spring semester for the summer at the Office of Human Resources, O’Connell Hall Rm 212, and on the Carroll College website (www.carroll.edu). Supervisors must give preference to work-study eligible students in hiring considerations. If you are unsure whether or not you qualify for work-study, contact the Financial Aid Office.

Carroll College also has a limited number of summer employment opportunities. The same work-study preference applies during the summer as it would during the academic year. To be considered for summer work-study employment, the student must meet the following requirements:

  1. The student must intend to stay at Carroll the following semester; and
  2. The student must have applied for federal student assistance for the upcoming academic year and have sufficient need to quality for a federal work-study award as determined by federal guidelines. Some regular positions are available, subject to the same restrictions as during the regular academic year.
