Summer Employment

The Coordinator of Student Employment is located in the financial aid office and is responsible for aiding students looking for summer positions. Students are not eligible to work in an office where their direct or indirect supervision will be performed by a parent or stepparent.

Candidates for employment are considered in the following priority for summer student employment:

• DePauw students eligible for work study who have financial aid awards.
• DePauw students who do not qualify for work study or state aid.
• DePauw employee dependents who attend other colleges or universities in departments other than where their parents are employed.
• Other college students who have work study or need based financial aid at their school.
• Other college students who do not qualify for work study or state aid.
• Local high school students in departments other than where their parents are employed.

Note: Students just graduating from high school and enrolling in college in the fall are considered college students for purposes of summer employment.

Typically there are plenty of summer jobs available for all students who wish to work on campus. Using the above criteria gives college students who typically have an expectation of summer earnings built into their financial aid award either at DePauw or another institution the opportunity to reach this goal.

Students wishing to work for the University should pick up summer employment application forms in the financial aid office. These are sent to campus employers in the spring of the year. They review the applications and contact the student directly. When students are hired, they must complete federal and state withholding tax forms and the employment eligibility verification form from INS or I-9. These forms are available in the Financial Aid Office. The I-9 requires a student provide proof of citizenship which can be done by showing the student's passport. More often the student will provide a picture ID such as a driver’s license or DePauw ID and social security card or birth certificate.

Students must have completed the tax information/I-9 and submitted a timecard with both supervisor and student signatures to be paid. Checks are generated every two weeks and available in the Cash Receipts Office in the Administration Building.
