Federal Work-Study (FWS) is a limited resource and will only be added to your financial aid package per request and subject to availability. Accepting FWS may reduce your overall student loan eligibility. There are numerous FWS positions available throughout the Law and University community. Students who participate in the Federal Work-Study program must complete appropriate payroll paperwork and will receive bi-weekly paychecks. Please contact the Toledo Law Financial Aid Office for more details.

 

Work-Study Procedures

**For any forms or communications via e-mail, you must use your University of Toledo e-mail account

 

Step One: Complete Financial Aid Process

To be considered for Work-Study funding, you will need to do the following:

1. Complete your FAFSA
2. Submit a completed 2012-2013 Work-Study Request to Law Financial Aid
3. Receive award notification
4. Accept award

 

Step Two: Complete Required Documents

The following documents must be completed and returned to the Office of Professional Development (Room 1030):

1. Work-Study contract
2. Position Information Sheet
3. Employment documents
4. Required documents (SS card and driver’s license or passport)

**You will not be paid until completion of this process.

 

Step Three: Over the Summer Months

You are responsible for submitting your hours through your myUT portal by the end of the day on the last day of the pay period.  Otherwise your timecard will not be processed for that pay period, and you will not be paid. 

You cannot work until you are on payroll.  You must monitor the hours that you work.  If you go over your work-study eligible hours, the time will be pro bono and you will not be paid.

If you suspect that you are not going to make academic progress, do not start work until grades are posted.

You MUST attend spring semester for at least 6 credit hours and the following fall semester for at least 6 credit hours to qualify for summer Work-Study.  If you plan to transfer, don’t work.  If you work for a professor or on campus you must be registered for at least 6 credit hours.

You will be required to complete an employer evaluation at the end of your summer experience.  The employer will complete an evaluation of your service midpoint and at the end of your service.
