Student Responsibilities

Welcome to the Student Employment Program!!!.

Your job provides vital service to Radford University and the community.  You are joining more than 1,000 students who are employed on campus and in the community through this work program.  Your work position will help you establish a valuable work record as well as references that you can use on your resume.

When you obtains a work position, the work acceptance agreement and other paperwork is mailed to your supervisor if you are eligible to work on the program.  You must complete all paperwork and return it to the Financial Aid Office.  You may not begin work until you have signed and returned this paperwork to the financial aid office.

Time Cards and Paychecks

A schedule of the dates for submission of time cards to the Payroll Office and disbursement of checks to students is posted on the work calendar.  Timecards must be at the designated drop off point before 10:00 A.M.  If the time card is not submitted by the date indicated, the student will not receive a check on the corresponding disbursement date.  It is the student's responsibility to obtain the monthly time card from the supervisor, verify the hours worked and sign the time card.  If the student does not receive a time card by the day prior to the Payroll Office due date, please contact your supervisor.  Late timecards must be delivered directly to the Payroll Office.  Timecards should not be mailed.  Students are not allowed to deliver time cards to the Payroll Office.  If a student is asked to do so, the cards must be in a sealed envelope with the supervisor's signature across the seal.

Your responsibilities:

Complete all applications for the student employment program.

Secure a job by contacting supervisors.

Complete all paperwork required for employment.

Turn in your time card on or before the posted dates.

Perform all work to the best of your ability.  Remember, your are establishing a work history that will be valuable to you in the future.

Evaluation of Job Performance

Because the work program is very important, supervisors are required to complete evaluation forms on each of their student workers.  These evaluations are done at the time of termination and at the end of the award period.  They will become part of the students' permanent records and are used as a reference for future placements or employer inquiries.

If you have questions or problems, please contact Jerry Lester, Assistant Director of Financial Aid.
