Campus Employment
Campus employment provides part-time jobs for students financial need, allowing them to earn
money to help pay education expenses. The program encourages community service work and work
related to the recipient's course of study.
Campus employment is never a credit to your student bill. You'll be paid by the hour.
Dominican University must pay you directly and at least monthly. Wages for the program must
equal at least the current federal minimum wage but might be higher, depending on the type of work
you do and the skills required. The amount you earn can't exceed your total campus employment
award.
If you work on campus, you could be able to work in a variety of departments including
administrative offices, faculty offices, the theatre department, the library, campus safety and
security, and many others. If you work off campus, your employer will usually be a private
nonprofit organization or a public agency, and the work performed must be in the public
interest. If campus employment is part of your Financial Aid Award you will be invited to
attend a Job Fair in September where you will be able to interview with campus department heads and
student employee supervisors. Once you have been hired and your work hours are being
assigned, your on campus supervisor will consider your award amount, your class schedule, and your
academic progress.
Dominican University considers its student workers one of its most valuable assets.
Your role as a student employee contributes to the smooth and efficient operation of the
institution. We look forward to having you join the ranks of our wonderful and talented
student employee work force.
