Student Employment
On campus jobs are an ideal way for students to work an earn money while enrolled
in a graduate program. Having a job on campus means your work will be:
- Convenient: You come to campus for class anyway. If you work on campus as well, you won’t have
to commute to your job.
- Worthwhile: Many jobs that you can get as a grad student will give you academic credit. This means
that while you’re working and learning, you will also be getting closer to earning
your degree.
- Related to your field: It’s not a guarantee, but many grad students find on-campus jobs related to their
degree, such as lab work, assistantships and more.
On-campus jobs that you can get as a grad student at Chapman include:
Non-Academic Jobs
Students can work on campus in non-academic capacities, and through federal work-study
positions. A list of open student jobs can be found on the Student Employment Services webpage.
Federal Work-Study
Federal Work-Study is a program provided by the federal government. It helps you find
work on or around campus to help fund your education.
If you qualify for Federal Work-Study, you will have access to specially designated
jobs on or around campus. These jobs are subsidized by the federal government, making
them easier to get than other jobs.
Eligibility for the Federal-Work Study program is based on financial need. Signing
up is as simple as indicating your interest on your FAFSA. When you get your financial
aid package, it will tell you whether or not you’ve qualified for the program.
Tutoring and Writing Center Jobs
Chapman has two on-campus tutoring centers that you can work at:
Both offer online tutoring services as well, so you may even be able to work from
home.
