If you are thinking about working part-time while attending Miami, you may want to consider campus employment. During the past year, more than 5,110 students were employed in various capacities by nearly 150 academic, administrative, and support service departments.

Working on campus will not only provide income; it will foster responsibility, encourage you to budget your time wisely, and offer opportunities for learning and skill development. Students who choose to work on campus appreciate the convenience of job locations and the opportunity to become better acquainted with faculty and staff. They also like the fact that university employers are understanding and flexible about academic demands.

Miami University is committed to employing students. Students are valuable part-time employees who make significant contributions to campus operations.

Federal Work-Study Program

Federal Work-Study is a federal financial aid program based on need computed from information you provide on the FAFSA. If you submitted the FAFSA and are not sure whether you are eligible for work-study, inquire at the Office of Student Financial Assistance. If you are a financial aid recipient, your financial aid award may include work-study eligibility. Many departments prefer to hire work-study students since a portion of the employee's wage is drawn from federal funds.

Regular Wage Employment

Regular wage employment is for students who want to work on campus but who are not eligible for federal work-study. More than half of the students working for the university do not qualify for work-study.
