Working On Campus

Student Employment

Mount Aloysius College offers many different types of employment opportunities across campus including Dining Services, Facilities, Residence Life, Student Activities, tutoring, office assistants, and more.

Working on campus allows you to gain work experience with the benefit of flexible hours and scheduling to match class requirements. Working on campus gives you a convenient way to earn money without having to leave campus.

New Hire Process

If you are hired for an on campus job, you must provide documentation and complete the required forms to verify eligibility to work.

Work Opportunities for International Students and Non-Work Study Students

International students do not qualify for the Federal Work Study Program. Additionally, some students may not qualify for the work-study program through the financial aid process. If you are not able to complete work-study for either of these reasons, you may inquire with Career Development, housed in Administration Building 101, about hourly paid positions. We will work to keep an updated list of open positions on campus that you can apply for.

Work-Study

Some students may be awarded Federal Work Study as part of their financial aid package based on information submitted on your FAFSA. Work-study gives students a bank of funds that can only be paid to them through on-campus employment. The Financial Aid Office will send communication directly to students who have been awarded work-study. Work-study awards are not applied directly to tuition; therefore, the student must budget these funds appropriately toward their balance due, rather than spending wages earned on other items.

NOTE: Work-study is not a requirement to work on-campus. Students who do not qualify for work-study are encouraged to apply for on-campus employment as well.

Commuters

Many Mountie students commute to campus. To assist commuter students' engagement with campus, we have created a number of designated areas for students to spend their time between classes. Some common hot spots on campus include: the Library, Cosgrave Student Center, Bertschi Center, the Hospitality Center, and many, many study rooms located in most buildings on campus (if you see open study tables or comfy chairs—they’re yours to use!).

Commuter students may purchase a meal plan so that they have easy access to hot and nutritious meals.

Commuter students are invited to participate IN ALL programming, activities, and student services on campus.

Commuter students are invited to use the ACWC (Wellness Center) to work out for free, it’s included!

The only difference in your experience should be going home to sleep!

If you have a suggestion, please submit it to the Student Affairs Office located in Cosgrave. We want to make sure that campus is an inviting and welcoming place for our commuter students!

Access To Support Child Care: The MAC Learning Center
