Applications are open twice a year – once for the summer semester and again for the Fall and Spring together. Applications are approved in 50-hour blocks and reimbursed at minimum wage plus 12% for mandatory employer costs.
Note: Students are allowed only one Work-op position per semester except in special circumstances. All exceptions to eligibility or to the number of positions must have approval from the Student Employment office.
