Work-study Positions - Position Openings

Work-study is available to students who are eligible for Title IV Federal student aid. Students are employed during an award year and can work up to 20 hours per week. To the extent practical, ACC will attempt to provide employment that compliments and reinforces the educational and vocational career goals of the student. Student earnings are restricted to the amount of their award. Work-study awards are available to students who are enrolled in at least half-time, and maintain a cumulative 2.0 GPA or higher.

Although many students qualify for work-study, a work-study award is not offered to all eligible students because funding is limited. The work-study appointment is temporary and only guaranteed for one academic year. You may view additional job postings visiting the job board in front of Financial Aid Office (M2330) for a large variety of positions that are available throughout campus.

2. Emergency Information
3. W-4: The Human Resources Office requires a new, original W-4 for each new hire.
4. I-9: As mandated by the Immigration Reform and Control Act of November 6, 1986, the Human Resources Office is required to verify the identity and work eligibility of all employees. The supervisor must verify employment eligibility and attach the I-9 to the Work-Study Appointment Form for every new hire. Also, photocopies of the documents used for the I-9 verification must be attached. Employees will not be placed on the Arapahoe Community College payroll until this paperwork is completed.

Payroll

As a work-study recipient you will be paid bi-weekly (every two weeks). Time sheets are electronic and are accessible through the MyACC Portal.  Failure to submit your timesheet will result in a delay in your pay. Please be advised that all work-study awards are based upon the availability of funds and may be revised during the school year without prior notice. In that event your supervisor will be notified. If an award is revised every reasonable effort will be made to assist a student for the remainder of the school year, if funds are available in the department budget.
