Student Employment General Information
We strongly recommend each student consider part-time employment during
the school year. These earnings can help meet a portion of the demonstrated
financial need and employment is a good alternative to borrowing when the
choice is available. Employment is also optional and may be declined if
resources become available from the family to cover this portion of the
demonstrated financial need.
Types of Employment
There are two funding avenues used for student employment:
- Federal Work Study
- These funds are made available in
part by the U.S. Department of Education and are awarded by the
University of Dayton to students who demonstrate the highest financial
need. Monies earned under this program must be counted as a resource
available to the student to meet the demonstrated financial need.
However, the funds that are earned under this program will be excluded
from your earnings when you file the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid for the next academic year. This benefit ensures that
your earnings under this program will not negatively impact your grant
eligibility next year.
- University Funded Employment
- a
non-need based program which does not require the FAFSA be filed.
Departments at the University of Dayton
allocate funds to employ students.
Eligibility Restrictions:
- Students are limited to holding one campus position at a time.
- Students are permitted to work up to twenty (20) hours per week when
school is in session and up to forty (40) hours per week during vacation
periods.
Eligibility Requirements:
All student employees are required to complete documentation prior to
beginning their employment. To view what forms are needed,

Eligible students must meet the following conditions:
- Be accepted for enrollment or plan to continue enrollment.
- Be enrolled a minimum of six (6) credit hours (undergraduate) or at
least three (3) credit hours (graduate) per semester during the regular school year.
- Be eligible to work in the United States and provide documentation to that effect.
- International students must be registered full time according to DHS
rules and regulations
Estimated Earnings & Pay
Students who accept employment will follow the schedule outlined by the individual employer to earn these funds. Students are paid by payroll check on the 10th and on the 25th of each month
for the hours worked during the pay period.
Please refer to the chart below to calculate the number of hours per week that you must work to earn the amount listed on your financial aid award letter. You are not required to earn this
amount but failure to do so will not increase University need-based awards. Employment is optional and may be declined with no penalty if you choose not to participate in school year employment.
