STUDENT EMPLOYMENT OFFICE
Hearnes Hall Room F-117

On-campus and off-campus jobs are available to all current students regardless of their financial status.

Employed students gain confidence in themselves, develop greater understanding of their strengths, weaknesses, values, and goals. Most students are able to successfully manage a job, classes, and extracurricular activities.

On-Campus Jobs
All MSSU departments are interested in finding dependable students to assist in a variety of duties. Secretarial duties are needed in almost every department. On-campus jobs work well with student schedules. Students are able to work an hour, go to class and then return to work again. These jobs are ideal for dorm students. Campus positions are available as Student Help positions or as Federal Work-Study positions. You must be Work-Study eligible to fill Work-Study positions. Refer to the Federal Work-Study section. To apply for on-campus Student Help positions, come by the Student Employment Office, complete a Student Employment Application and set an appointment to talk with Linda Sadler, the Student Employment Coordinator for placement. Campus jobs go quickly in the first weeks of the semester. Contact the Student Employment Office as soon as possible.

Students on Work-Study are determined eligible through the Financial Aid office each year. You must apply early before these limited funds become depleted.

At Missouri Southern Work-Study pay is funded 100 percent making Work-Study students attractive as an employee. The only disadvantage is the limited amount of monies that may be earned.

You must accept your Work Study award on Lionet.
