Students seeking on-campus employment have the following options:
Federal Work Study [FWS] Posted in Handshake
Federal Work Study is an undergraduate financial aid award. Students are limited to working five hours per week in work study positions in campus offices and are paid minimum wage [may be different in regions outside NYC, Long Island, and Westchester]. Students must qualify for FWS each academic year; eligibility is determined via the student's FAFSA. Only FWS eligible students who have accepted their financial aid package in Banner will be able to view and apply to these positions.
Student Assistants Posted in Handshake
Student Assistant positions are funded by campus departments and are offered at their discretion when funding is available. These positions may include research assistants, teaching assistants, and tutors. These positions are not based on economic need and are open to any student applicant who meets the job description’s criteria as denoted by the campus employer. Student Assistants may work no more than twenty (20) hours per week; hourly wages may exceed the region’s NYS minimum wage and are determined by the hiring unit.
Graduate Assistantships
A variety of graduate assistantship positions are available each semester to support SUNY
Poly’s faculty. They include serving as a research, teaching, or lab assistant. Returning full-
time graduate students are eligible to apply for these positions via handshake to support
their second or third semester of study. Funding is limited and the selection process is
competitive. Compensation is a stipend and the number of hours and stipend amount vary
by position.
