Posting Information:
Job Title:
- If you are offering the position to only students with work-study eligibility please include “Work Study Only” in the job title
- Students are not required to apply through an additional website or applicant tracking system
- You have the option of showing your name only or no information at all

Job Type:
- For Job Type, select: “On-Campus Employment”
- For Employment Type, select: “Part-time” for a work-study position
- For Duration, select temporary/seasonal
- For Dates, select the start and end dates for the duration of the work-study position

You must select “Yes” when asked if this is a work-study position. This is an important check box to allow work-study eligible students to find your position.

PLEASE NOTE: Career and Professional Success cannot store or share student work-study eligibility in Handshake. All student applicants will appear to “not meet preferences” because of this. We suggest requesting an additional document confirming work-study eligibility or confirming eligibility during the interview process.
