Hundreds ofstudents help cover the cost ofcollege by working on campus in posi– tions which range from laboratory assistant to groundskeeper. Financial Information STUDENT EMPLOYMENT College Work Study 179 This federally-funded program is designed to provide work opportunities available to college students. Students in this pro– gram may qualify for up to ten hours a week during the academic year. All work assignments are made by the Financial Aid Office. Actual hiring is done by the department supervisors who will employ the students. Campus Employment Although not able to guarantee employment, Cedarville College assists needy students by recommending them for part-time employment. Students are employed in various part-time jobs on campus such as maintenance, cafeteria, housekeeping, and labora– tory, library, and office assistants. Part-time work is important not only for financial assistance but also for providing practical job training for the student. The experience gained from these jobs is useful when the student leaves the college to apply for full-time employment. Although part-time student employment is not restricted to upperclassmen, freshmen should work only in the case of neces– sity. At least the first quarter of the freshman year should be devoted to study and adjustment to college life. Off-Campus Employment Because of the College's reputation for attracting sharp stu– dents, many area employers contact the Placement Office to employ students on a part-time basis. Sometimes students obtain work related to their fields of study and gain valuable experience as well as income. Though no formal restrictions pertain to this employment, students are encouraged to limit their working hours to approximately twenty hours per week to insure sufficient time to study.
