General Information |

Federal Work-Study and NU Job assist students in securing part-time employment on or near campus to help pay for incidental expenses during the year. Students cannot work more than twenty hours per week during academic periods. Unlike other forms of financial aid, Federal Work-Study and NU Job are not applied as a credit to student accounts. Students are paid on a weekly basis for hours worked during the prior week. Students must demonstrate financial need to be awarded this form of assistance.

Authorization Levels
•Federal regulations stipulate that Work-Study students are not allowed to earn wages through the Work-Study program that exceed allocation awarded by Financial Aid. This means that if you are awarded $1,000.00 in Federal Work-Study funds, $1,000.00 is the maximum amount which can be earned during that specific semester.
•Once you have earned your allotted award you must stop working immediately.
•You are responsible for monitoring your earnings/hours worked.

Pay Rates
•Your pay rate is based on the job you are performing.
•Since your Work-Study award is of a finite amount, your pay rate determines the number of hours that you are able to work.
•In order to determine the number of hours you may work for the semester, divide your Work-Study authorization amount by your hourly pay rate, and then by the number of weeks in the semester or the number of weeks during the semester that you wish to work.
