EMPLOYMENT AT LOYOLA UNIVERSITY CHICAGO:
Student Positions:
Part-time student positions exist in a variety of departments at the Lakeshore and Watertower campus. There are two categories of student employment at Loyola: 1) on-campus positions that require federal work-study eligibility and 2) on-campus positions that do not require federal work-study.
Applications for student positions on-campus should be made directly to the individual department. A printable application is available online at http://www.luc.edu/finaid/. Please note, to determine eligibility for federal work-study, students must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is available online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/.
Off-campus opportunities are available through the Federal Work-Study Community Service Program. The Federal Work-Study Program allows Loyola students to work at various non-profit organizations throughout the Chicagoland area.
A database of federal work-study jobs as well as off-campus community service jobs is available at http://www.luc.edu/finaid/. This database allows you to explore options both on-campus and off-campus through the federal work-study community service program. The online database also allows students to search for positions that do not require federal work-study.
