Student Employment
There are two types of student employment opportunities at The University of Tulsa, the Federal Work Study Program and Institutional Work Study.
Throughout the year, Student Financial Services lists employment opportunities. In addition to on-campus jobs, a number of jobs are available in community service agencies throughout Tulsa. It is the responsibility of the student to find employment and to work enough hours to earn the award. Hourly wage rates for all campus student employees begin at minimum wage.
A common work week is 11 to 12 hours. Students will be paid bi-weekly as funds are earned. Earnings are paid directly to the student through direct deposit. Therefore, the Federal Work Study award cannot credit to the student’s bill at the beginning of the semester. If the award is needed to help with the student’s bill, a payment plan must be set up with the Bursar’s Office. Arrangements for direct deposit should be made through Human Resources. Earnings through the Federal Work Study program are taxable and will be reported to the IRS.
New Federal Work Study students are required to complete an I-9 and W-4 form through the Office of Human Resources prior to beginning their employment. Since work study funding is limited, it is important to apply early while funds are available.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Student Financial Services, or our Federal Work Study Coordinator, Mrs. Karla Chantaniyom (karla-chantaniyom@utulsa.edu).
