If you are planning to join the many Marquette students who help finance their education through part-time employment, Marquette’s Student Employment Services is a great place to start. We offer:
- JobConnection, a Web-based job board, which provides access to
all on- and off-campus job openings, including job descriptions,
contact information, wages required hours and instructions for application.
- Assistance for students experiencing difficulties locating jobs.
- Development of new on- and off-campus jobs.
- Assistance to students seeking Community Service Federal Work Study opportunities. (Information about our job search process is available on our Web site starting July 15.)
Finding a job
Because on-campus job vacancies are filled on a first-come, first-served basis, we recommend that you begin looking for a job in early August or during New Student Orientation. Once you secure a job, you can arrange work around your academic schedule.Student employment information is available at PREVIEW. In the meantime, if there is a particular area or department you'd like to work at, you may contact the department directly. If you have Federal Work Study and you get a job with an approved off-campus employer, that agency will need to hire you through JobConnection and your payroll check will come from Marquette.
It’s Not Only About the Money
All right, it may be mostly about the money. But besides the financial benefits of working on campus, you will also find that working on campus will help you develop good work habits as well as time management and human relations skills.
Work Programs
Federal Work Study Program
Federal Work Study (FWS) jobs are available in a majority of campus departments as well as several off-campus, non-profit agencies. FWS is awarded based on financial need. All part-time job opportunities on campus are coordinated through Student Employment Services in the Office of Student Financial Aid.
Note: Students wishing to accept FWS for fall must complete verification (if selected) by August.
Marquette Student Employment
Marquette Student Employment is employment on or off campus that is not federally funded. You are not limited to the amount listed on the financial aid award.
Please note: Marquette Student Employment and Federal Work Study are not the same thing. When hired on campus, it is very important that both the student and the employer understand which program the student is eligible for.
Papers, Please
Before you work on campus, you must complete a federal I-9 form, available on the Office of Student Financial Aid Web site. In order to ensure a smooth employment application process, be sure to provide all the documentation requested by the I-9.Important Note About Student Work and Financial Aid
While your financial aid notification may show a certain amount awarded for student employment, do not include that dollar figure when planning how to cover your direct Marquette University charges. There are two reasons for this:1. The wages you earn from a student job,
whether on or off campus, are not credited directly to your account
with the Office of the Bursar. You will receive
a biweekly paycheck.
2. You must obtain a job and earn any awarded work program dollars before
you can apply it toward any expenses, be they Marquette expenses or personal expenses.
