FWS is a federally funded program for students who qualify as part of their financial aid package. To be considered for a FWS position, a student must be enrolled in at least 6 credit hours and have been awarded FWS after completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
To check whether you have been awarded FWS, log into UNCGenie, navigate to the Financial Aid tab, Award, and check Award Aid by Year. You must reapply for FAFSA every year to retain possible FWS eligibility.
Students working FWS jobs on campus may work up to 20 hours per week during the fall and spring semesters, never during scheduled class time or over the summer.
All enrolled students are eligible for departmental hire hourly jobs (non-FWS).
A few of the largest employers on campus are Housing & Residence Life, Recreation & Wellness, the Library, and the Elliott University Center. Although many other offices on campus hire student workers as well.
Students in these roles may work up to 28 hours per week during the fall and spring semesters, and possibly more hours in the summer. Hours must not be worked during scheduled class time.
Eligible graduate students may apply for graduate assistantships at UNCG
