Applying for a Job

To work on campus as part of the federal work-study program, you must receive approval from the Office of Student Employment (OSE). To start this process, visit the Office of Student Employment at either the Old Westbury campus, Salten Hall, room 3; or Manhattan campus, New Technology Building, room 612.

After you receive approval to work, you can visit our Online Job Listings Web site. Many of the posted jobs are available to federal work-study students only. If you do not have work-study funds, you are not eligible for these jobs. To find out if you have a work-study award, contact the Office of Financial Aid or the Office of Student Employment (OSE). If you find a job description you are interested in, contact the person listed at the end of the posting to find out if the position is still open and if they would like to hire you.

Prior to starting work, you must complete the Student Employment Authorization Contract, W-4, and I-9 located on the forms page:

You must also confirm that you have been approved to work by the OSE. The department supervisor does not have the authorization to allow a student to begin working regardless of start date. If you begin working prior to approval and authorization by the OSE administrator, you will not be paid for those hours.
