WORKING ON CAMPUS AND DEVELOPING YOUR CAREER Student employment UW-Platteville offers many different types of employment opportunities across all departments, including Dining Services, Pioneer Farm and Greenhouse positions, academic assistants who support our instructors, and office assistants who support university functions. REASONS TO WORK ON CAMPUS Working on campus allows students to gain work experience with the benefit of flexible hours and scheduling to match class requirements. Working on campus gives students a convenient way to earn money without having to leave campus. HOW TO GET A JOB On-campus jobs are posted to an online job board called Handshake. Browse Handshake for the latest job openings. NEW HIRE PROCESS If a student is hired for an on-campus position, the student must provide documentation and complete the required forms to verify eligibility to work. The Student Employment Office will directly communicate with the student regarding what paperwork needs to be completed. WORK STUDY Some students may be awarded Work Study as part of their financial aid package. Work Study gives students a bank of funds that can only be paid to them through on-campus employment. The Financial Aid and Scholarship Office will send communication directly to students who have been awarded Work Study. Work Study awards are not applied directly to tuition. NOTE: Work Study is NOT a requirement to work on campus. Students who do not qualify for Work Study are encouraged to apply for on-campus employment as well.
