Regular College and Work-study Student Jobs

Student employees are vital to the success of Carroll College, and employment can be a very important part of a student's experience at Carroll.  Working while attending college can help to defer the cost of education, assist you in learning valuable time management skills, and give you transferable experience when you enter the job market.

Most student employment positions are located on-campus, and when it comes to convenience, on-campus jobs can't be beat!  Our Work-Study program does offer some opportunities as well that are available in our local community-based, non-profit, and/or governmental community service organizations.  Work experience helps students develop a variety of skills, including communication and interpersonal skills. These skills, along with the skills gained through academic course work and extra-curricular activities will prove to be very useful in preparing students for future careers.

To be eligible to for these positions, a student must be admitted and registered at least half time (6 credit or more) and be in good academic standing during the current semester in which the student works. The only exception to this enrollment requirement is during the summer.

To apply for a position, reach out directly to the contact person in the posting to find out how they would like you to apply.  If they request an application, it can be found here: application for student employment.
