Frequently Asked Questions

Am I guaranteed an on-campus job?
There is no guarantee of an on-campus job. Open positions are posted throughout the year at www.snc.edu/financialaid/jobs.html

Employers have to let me study right?
Sorry, this is not the case. The term "Work-Study" describes the nature of the program. Students have an opportunity to work so that they may continue their studies at St. Norbert College.

What happens if I don't use all of the work study or regular employment listed on my Financial Aid Award?
The amount listed on the Financial Aid Award for Federal College Work-Study or SNC Regular Employment is just an average of what a student may earn during an academic year. However, a student is only paid for the hours he/she actually works.

How will I get paid?
You will be paid every two weeks based on the number of hours you worked during a pay period multiplied by your hourly wage. Checks will be available for pick up according to the pay dates listed on the Payroll Calendar that is located at http://www.snc.edu/payroll/calendar.html. St. Norbert College requires direct deposit to the bank of your choice or to your St. Norbert College Student Account if you are employed through SNC Regular Employment.

What do I do if I want to quit my job?
We encourage students to give a two week notice to their employer. You are always welcome to look for another position on campus. However, a student can not begin working a new job until their two week period has expired unless permission is granted from their current employer.
