College Work-Study

Most student jobs are advertised on BullsEye. Once you are notified and you have accepted College Work-Study support, set up an account on BullsEye to upload your resume and apply for a job.

Your goal is to work reasonable hours while classes are in session and have your funds last all year.

If you have been accepted in the work-study progam your award amount will be determined based upon your individual Financial Aid package. 

You can work up to 29 hours per week, throughout the year, providing you are performing necessary work duties and you have funds remaining, including any student assistant (SA) appointments.

A timesheet used to create your paycheck, so it's important to submit it on time. When the hiring paperwork is on file with Human Resources — the student and supervisor have completed the forms — students can start entering the time worked, online. The supervisor has to approve the online time sheet so make sure to keep an accurate record.

To ensure timely payment, student assistant and work study timesheets should be submitted by students and approved by supervisors no later than 12 p.m. on the Monday after the  close of the pay period*. If timesheets are approved after that time, payment may be delayed and issued in a later paycheck. 

*Please note, this deadline is subject to change by Albany, occasionally as early as the Friday after the close of the pay period, Therefore, to avoid difficulties with unexpected early closes, always approve timesheets as soon as possible after submission by the student.
