Student Employment

EMU provides part-time employment opportunities to students to help finance their educational needs along with providing meaningful work to develop a solid foundation of competencies and skills.

Federal Work Study

Work Study is a federal financial aid program with eligibility based on the FAFSA and demonstrated financial need. Student employment is available in many academic and administrative offices on campus and several off-campus community service locations. Students typically work 6 - 8 hours per week. 

Students may review a listing of open positions on the EMU student employment website. Students can apply for an on-campus job that fits their skills and interests. The appropriate departmental supervisor will review the application and will respond.

Returning students are encouraged to make arrangements for employment with supervisors before they leave campus in the spring. New students should pursue work-study placements as soon as eligibility has been determined.

EMU Work Program

Not all undergraduate students are eligible for Federal Work-Study. A limited number of undergraduate international students may be offered the opportunity for on-campus employment prior to enrolling as a regular undergraduate student. No additional offers are made to international students after enrollment.

Also, due to the nature of certain on-campus employment opportunities, students may be paid from EMU Work Programs funds.
