The IT Services Student Support Provider (SSP) program offers a unique pay schedule. Increases in salary are based on a point system and job performance.

Upon completing courses totaling 50 points, the SSP is given an increase in pay to the next level on the payscale--at the discretion of the SSP's supervisor. The supervisor must approve the courses taken and include job performance into the salary mix. Once that is completed, the supervisor is free to upgrade the student's pay to the next level allowing the student to advance sooner. The pay levels are listed below.

All pay levels are hourly. Hourly students receive paychecks every two weeks. Note that the Student Specialist level may be classified as routine work. However, market competition and/or nature of the job make it a "hard to fill" position. Most IT Services student positions would not fall under this category. Therefore, IT Services student employees will jump from the Student Associate level to the Student Master I level upon supervisory approval.
