Throughout the year, the Office of Student Financial Services
lists employment opportunities on our website. In addition to
on-campus jobs, a number of jobs are available in community
service agencies in Tulsa. Placement referrals are not a
guarantee of employment. It is the responsibility of the
student to find an appropriate employment situation with the
assistance of the Office of Student Financial Services.
Additionally, it is the responsibility of the student to work
enough hours to earn the award.
Hourly wage rates for all campus student employees begin at the
Federal minimum wage. A 10 to 12 hour work week is most
common. Earnings are paid biweekly directly to the student.
Therefore, the Federal Work-Study award cannot be credited to
the student's bill at the beginning of the semester.
Direct deposit of FWS earning is available. Arrangements for
direct deposit should be made through the payroll office.
Earnings through the Federal Work-Study program are taxable and
will be reported to the IRS.
New students must attend a Work-Study session during orientation
in August. You must bring a copy of your birth certificate and
social security card to the orientation session. Additionally,
new Federal Work-Study students are required to complete an I-9
and W-4 form through the payroll office prior to beginning their
employment. Continuing students will receive their information
in the mail in August.
