  • December 16, 2022 - January 3, 2023

  • June 16 - 30
Students who work during blackout dates must be paid out of non-work-study funding unless prior approval was given by the Work Study Coordinator. 

Working During Breaks:

Students can work during breaks (black-out periods) between academic quarters provided they meet all of the following criteria:

  1. They have met Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements for the previous quarter AND have completed at least 6 credits.
  2. They have enough remaining hours in their award for the current quarter.
  3. They do not work more than 8 hours per day and no more than 40 hours per week during the break period. 
  4. They are not graduating/completing the graduation requirements for their program of study at the end of the quarter (i.e. they will remain enrolled in 6 or more credits for the next quarter).

IMPORTANT:

Students who exceed their work-study allocation awards by working more hours than they are eligible, or who work during non-authorized periods of time must be paid for the hours they worked out of another non-financial aid funding source, which may include their supervisor’s departmental budget, if needed.
