Student Employment
Eligibility for a Campus Job
- The first step in getting a job on campus is to have received an award letter that lists your student employment eligibility.
- The amount listed on the award letter is the maximum that you may earn for the academic year. Due to having a limited amount of student employment funds, they are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. A student employment award is NOT a guarantee of employment.
- Be sure that the results of the FAFSA and all other supporting documents are turned into the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office by May 15th of the preceding academic year.
- If you received an award letter and were awarded student employment funds, you were instructed to get your Student Employment Authroization, Direct Deposit Authorization and W-4 from the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office after finding an on-campus job. These are the forms you will need to complete the hiring process.
- You are also required to read the Student Employment Handbook available at Award Notification Information and also on theStudent Employment@ Normandale website. Click on "Students" and then "Normandale's Student Employment Handbook".
Jobs on Campus
- All available jobs on campus can be viewed and applied for online via the new website, Student Employment @ Normandale.
- Using the assistance of the Job Placement Office, located in the College Services Building room 1031, can also help in your on-campus job search.
- Choose a job you wish to apply for and apply online at Student Employment @ Normandale. You will be contacted by the supervisor via email when they have received your online job application and are ready to set up an interview. Pick up your employment paperwork from the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office and bring it with you to the interview.
- If hired, you and the supervisor must complete the required portions of the Student Employment Authorization.
- You must bring the Student Employment Authorization, W-4 and originals of your social security card and drivers license (or other acceptable documentation as listed in Section C of the Authorization) to the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office. This must be done before actually performing any work at that job.
- Any hours worked BEFORE receiving your timesheet from the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office will be considered volunteer hours.
Being Paid
- Student employment funds are available to be earned and are thus disbursed in the form of a paycheck.
- Once you start working, you are paid for the hours you work, up to your awarded amount.
- Payday is the second Friday following the Tuesday that timesheets are due.
- All paychecks are direct deposited to your checking/savings account.
