Many students work on campus. There are three types of student jobs available at UCA:
- Work study employment, which is largely federal funded positions. To be eligible, students must be awarded federal financial aid through the FAFSA program. Most on-campus jobs are work study positions.
- Non-work study employment, which are university funded positions. Students need not be eligible for federal financial aid for these positions.
- University contract services employment, which are jobs provided by vendors who contract with the University including ARAMARK Dining Services and Barnes & Noble Campus Bookstore.
There are three primary means for obtaining an on campus job:
- Make application directly with an office or department on campus. Many students will seek employment within an office affiliated with their academic major. For example, if you are a biology major, you might try contacting the biology department. Other departments who hire a large number of students include – residence halls, HPER Center, Intramural Sports (for sport officials), University Library, and ARAMARK Dining Services.
