Work On-Campus

The Student Career Occupation Preparation Experience is also known at La Salle University’s Work On Campus program. In this program, students will learn to build their social and professional networks, add to their resume, develop communication and other skills, as well as earn extra funds.  

If you have the opportunity to work on campus, be sure to familiarize yourself with the program information, and email scope@lasalle.edu with any questions. 

Once you have determined your eligibility, you can search for positions on Handshake. On the Handshake homepage, click “Jobs” and filter your search by selecting “On-campus.” You can type “FWS” or “Budget” in the search bar depending on which you are eligible for.

Enroll in the Student Worker Training Canvas course! Once you have been offered a work on campus position, whether it is FSW or Budget, each student worker will need to complete the Canvas course training to learn about working on campus and what is expected of you. 

The deadline for a student to submit their FASFA to secure their financial aid for the upcoming school year is due June 30. Students should follow up with the Financial Aid office after submitting this request or if additional assistance is required.

• If you receive a raise in pay greater than minimum wage, it could affect how many hours or how long you can work. If you receive a raise but continue to work the same number of hours per week, it could exhaust your work-study funds quicker. Reach out to your supervisors to discuss how a raise could affect your hours.
• All requests for pay greater than the $7.25 minimum wage require the signature of the Vice President of the division in which you are employed.
• Please note: This is not required for Graduate Assistant positions.

• Federal Work-Study (FWS) is a need-based employment program administered by the University. Priority is given to full-time students who fill out the FAFSA on time.
• Students must submit a FAFSA and demonstrate financial need to qualify for federal work-study. Federal work-study is awarded based on the information provided on a student’s FAFSA. Because federal work-study is a need-based award, not every student qualifies. Students must also complete all outstanding requirements with the Financial Aid Office before they can receive federal work-study. Because the university receives a limited amount of federal work-study funds each year, students who submit their paperwork late will be put on our work-study waitlist. This is done in an effort to ensure that we do not overspend our work-study funds or spent our allocation too quickly.
