Jobs for Undergraduates
The best job search tool on campus is the Student Employment Web site, jobs.ucdavis.edu. Hundreds of jobs are listed with employers both on-campus and in the surrounding communities. The site is easy to use and you can search for a job at your convenience, or sign up to receive e-mail when a new job listing is posted. If you find you're having difficulty with your job search, feel free to stop by the Student Employment Center, 1210 Dutton Hall for assistance.
Undergraduate Self-Help Contribution: As part of the UC Education Finance Policy, undergraduates are expected to contribute to their cost of education. A part-time job can help students to meet their portion of the cost of education, while providing valuable work experience.
Work-Study
Many campus departments like to hire students with Work-Study funding to help with salary savings. Federal Work-Study is awarded to undergraduates based on need, which is determined by the FAFSA. Because funding is limited, not all students with need receive Work-Study funding. Work-Study allows a student to earn financial aid through employment. Instead of a financial aid payment, the student's Work-Study award is paid in the form of a payroll check for time/hours worked. All job listings are available online at jobs.ucdavis.edu.
Undergraduates who are awarded Work-Study should read the Undergraduate Guide to the Federal Work-Study Program for a comprehensive overview of the program. The guide also contains a useful question and answer format that makes it easy to read.
Undergraduates who accept Work-Study are instructed to obtain a Work-Study Eligibility Form in the fall from the Student Employment Center and not begin a Work-Study job until they receive authorization from the Student Employment Center. December 1 is the deadline to find a job and begin using the Work-Study award or request that the award be deferred until the student finds a job.
