For many of our students, having a job on campus is part of the Bethany College experience. Whether you are tutoring other students, working in the library, doing research for a professor, planting flowers with our groundskeepers, editing the school paper or working in Admissions, we hope you find your position to be a valuable way to gain important work experience and earn money toward tuition and other expenses. Studies show that students who work while in college actually do better.


Eligibility

All full-time, degree-seeking students who have not completed their bachelor’s degrees are eligible to be considered for work-study.  Students who apply for need-based financial aid will be considered for work-study funded through the Federal College Work-Study Program.  Those who do not qualify for need-based financial aid or those who do not apply for financial aid will be funded through the Bethany College Work-Study Program. 

Work-Study  

You are typically limited to work a maximum of 10 hours a week at a rate of $ 5.85 an hour, to allow time for studies and involvement in other campus activities. 

Finding Your Position

If you need assistance in finding a job, check the job postings on this web-site, or come to the Career Service Office and we will be happy to help.  The application process starts in Career Service. Once a job has been secured both you and your supervisor will get a confirmation e-mail from the payroll department.

Payment

For payroll purposes, Bethany College is required to collect a Federal I-9 form before you can begin working in any position. Students must also complete a Federal W4 form.  Students must have their ID card activated in the payroll system for the time clock system.  Paychecks are issued on the last business day of the month.
