All new work study students are immediately waitlisted until their payroll forms and copies of IDs are completed and turned into the Payroll Office Murphy 201. Once these are turned in, students who are moved off of the waitlist from the Financial Aid office will receive their Work Authorization forms and application instructions via e-mail. Once a student is hired, they should return the Work Authorization form to Financial Aid or the supervisor should e-mail it. YOU ARE NOT HIRED UNTIL THIS FORM IS COMPLETE.
