College Work-Study Authorization

   Federal College Work-Study is an opportunity for on-campus employment
for the coming academic year. It is not, however, a guarantee of
employment. It is a need-based Financial Aid Program.
   The dollar amount of your authorization is what normally determines how
many hours a semester you may work. In general, Work-Study students work 10-
12 hours per week during the school year.
   Since its purpose is to help you meet the miscellaneous expenses that
are associated with your college education, the money earned is paid
directly to you. Pay periods at the University of Delaware are every two
weeks. Pay scales begin at the federal minimum wage level and progress
through three job classification levels. Where on campus do students work?
Most jobs are in academic and administrative offices. Students do typing
and filing, answer phones, serve as laboratory or research assistants,
enter data on computers, or do tutoring.
   Here are the steps you will need to follow if you have Work-Study
authorization:
     1. Please complete the Work-Study Information Form and return it
        immediately to: Student Services Building, 30 Lovett Avenue,
        Newark, DE 19716. The information you provide on the form will help
        us provide you with a job interview that is consistent with your
        particular skills and interests.
     2. If you meet the deadline above, in late August you will be mailed
        interview information indicating the University department and
        person with whom you will be interviewing. AS SOON AS YOU ARRIVE ON
        CAMPUS, YOU SHOULD CONTACT THIS PERSON TO ARRANGE A TIME FOR YOUR
        INTERVIEW. University offices are generally open Mondays through
        Fridays from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. (If it is possible for you
        to interview before the beginning of school, feel free to do so.)
     3. Work will not begin until the first day of classes. If your
        interviewer does not offer you a job, then you may return to the
        Work-Study Office to receive another job referral.
