Student Employment guidance updated
The Student Employment page now lays out a detailed post-hire workflow: Student Employment Authorization Form, New Hire Orientation, onboarding paperwork, UltiPro Time Management setup, and additional training before work can begin. It also adds clearer guidance for continuing in the same position in a new academic year, leaving a role, changing positions, and handling earnings and tax requirements, including the 20 hours per week and 30 hours per week limits and the note that Federal Work-Study may be less than $6,750. The financial aid and scholarships page now emphasizes staff contact listings and directory links rather than the broader applicant guidance that was previously shown, including the financial aid email addresses for U.S. and Canada support. Overall, the update is a major process-focused revision with minor changes to eligibility, funding conditions, scope, and contact endpoints.
