L/L Work-Study Application Information (Spring Semester)

Living/Learning Center Director's Office
Work-Study Job Application Information
Fall Semester

If you worked for us last semester:

Whenever possible, we give priority to students who worked for us last semester for re-hire into the same work-study job. This minimizes the amount of training that we must provide.  In order to be eligible for re-hire, you must have satisfactorily performed your job responsibilities last semester.  If you wish to work for us again this semester, you still need to submit an application so that we know when you are available to work. The deadline for submitting the online application is Thursday, September 3 at 4:30 p.m. We will begin reviewing applications upon receipt, so we encourage you to submit your schedule availability form as soon as you return to campus. If you do not submit the scheduling form by the deadline, we will assume that you do not wish to work for us again this semester. 

If you are applying to work with us for the first time:

Thank you for your interest in a work-study job with the Living/Learning Center Director's Office. Each semester we employ over 70 students in a variety of jobs throughout the Center. Work-study students play a critical role in the operation of our facility. 

Application forms are available online. The deadline for submitting an application is Thursday, September 3 at 4:30 p.m.!  In order to apply for a job, you must have been awarded financial aid in the form of a Federal Work-Study Award, and you will need to submit a copy of your Federal Work-Study Authorization Forms along with your job application.  NOTE:  Applications submitted during the summer months will be received by our office but not reviewed until the start of the semester.

When we receive your application, it will be forwarded to the supervisor of the job you listed as your first choice. That supervisor will review your available times to see if you can work during hours when coverage is needed. If not, your application will then be forwarded to the supervisor of your second-choice job. As you can see, the more jobs that you preference on your application - and the more hours that you list as available to work on the schedule form - the better your chances of employment. We do our best to make all hiring decisions by Friday, September 4 at 4:00 p.m., at which time a complete list of who has been hired will be posted on the Living/Learning Work-Study Sharepoint Site: http://sharepoint.uvm.edu/sites/llworkstudy/

Here are some tips that will improve your chances of getting a job:

  • Turn in your application early! We review applications on an ongoing basis as they are received. Please Note: During the Spring semester, our first priority is to rehire all work-study students who worked for us last semester. This minimizes the amount of training that we have to provide. For this reason, we generally do not begin considering applications from new students until after the application deadline.
  • Rank all of the jobs you are willing to work. The more jobs that you select, the better your chances will be. Please be sure to indicate your preference for each job by marking them 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
  • List all of the times you are available to work on the schedule. The more hours that you are available, the better your chances of getting a job. Historically, it has been difficult for us to find coverage for shifts on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. If you are available at those times, please let us know. If you prefer to work on weekends, please make a note on your schedule. Note that some jobs require mandatory rotating weekend shifts! If you are hired for one of those jobs, you will be expected to work weekends on a rotating basis.
  • Tell us about your skills. If you have special skills that apply to a particular job, be sure to list them on your application (use an additional sheet if necessary).
  • If your work availability schedule changes, please stop by the L/L Director's Office immediately to complete an updated schedule!

If You are Hired:

After you submit your application you may be contacted by a work-study supervisor to confirm your availability and/or to set up an interview. Please be sure to return all e-mails or phone calls promptly! We generally try to notify you by e-mail and/or telephone as soon as we place you on a schedule. We strongly encourage you to check your e-mail and voicemail at least twice each day until you hear from us. If offered a job, please confirm your acceptance of the offer promptly.

Job assignments will be posted on the L/L Work-Study Sharepoint Site (http://sharepoint.uvm.edu/sites/llworkstudy) by 4:00 p.m. on Friday, September 4.

Applications that are received after the posted deadline will not be reviewed until after all "on time" applications have been processed.

If you are hired, you will need to come to the L/L Director's Office during one of the scheduled paperwork sessions. These paperwork sessions are scheduled for September 9, 10 and 11 from 11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. in the Living/Learning Director's Office, 205 Commons, near the Main Desk.  A member of the Director's Office staff will help you complete all of the required employment paperwork during one of these times. This process should take no more than a half an hour, so you may plan to come to the Director's Office anytime between 11 AM and 3 PM on these days.

Bring the following items with you to this session:
  • All employees:
    • Federal Work-Study Authorization Form.
  • First-time UVM employees also bring:
    • I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification Form.
    • W-4 Employee's Withholding Allowance Form.
