This is a change to an existing policy.
Current Policy Title:
8.03 / Federal Work-Study
Revised Policy Title:
N/A
Last Revised Date Of Policy:
February 7, 2019
Initiating Authority:
Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships
Summary Of Policy Or Policy Change:
This policy is being revised to make a limited substantive update to II.B.1 (revised
to III.B.1) to increase the number of hours that undergraduate and graduate students
in the Federal Work Study Program are permitted to work during the academic year,
from 20 hours to 30 hours per week. Because the Office of Financial Aid would like
to implement this change very quickly, beginning with FY24 Pay Period #2 (beginning
on 12/24/2023, ending on 01/06/2024, and pay date 01/19/2024), the revisions have
been limited to the discrete revision requested, with limited updates to the policy
format in conformance with the standard 黑洞社区 policy format, including adding the Initiating
Authority and a revision dates section. In addition, a maintenance update was made
to change Career Development Services to Shocker Career Accelerator in revised Section
III.C.1.
Reason Or Need For Policy / Summary Of Changes Made To Existing Policy:
The Office of Financial Aid, Payroll, and Accounts Receivable have recently agreed
that students in the Federal Work Study Program should be allowed to work up to 30
hours per week during the academic year, with the goal of benefitting the University
departments overall and encouraging more departments to utilize the Federal Work Study
Program. The current policy limits students in the Federal Work Study Program to working
20 hours per week. Consequently, to implement the increased hours, the policy will
need to be revised.
