Off-Campus Work-Study Program

The Student Employment Program at Metropolitan State College of Denver is intended to provide students paid jobs to off-set their educational expenses; while garnering professional experience to enhance thier leadership skills.

Non-profit and government agencies, that are not politically affiliated, may hire Metropolitan State College of Denver federal work-study students to work part-time in their offices. Off-Campus agencies agree to pay 25% of a student's wage, while the other 75% derives from the student's federal work-study award. Work-study is allocated based on the financial aid package a student receives. A student must indicate on their FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) they are interested in work-study. Students may also contact a Financial Aid Counselor and indicate their interest in work-study.
*Students who receive No-Need Work Study are not eligible to work off-campus through the work-study program.

How Organizations Can Participate in the Work-Study Program

  1. Please fill out an 'Eligibility and Need Assessment for Participation In the Federal Work-Study Program' form. You can email, fax or mail the completed form to the Office of Human Resources.

    • Office of Human Resources
      Student Employment Program
      Campus Box 47, PO Box 173362
      Denver, CO 80217-3362

    • Fax Number - 303-556-5151

    • Email contact information:
      Ramona Morris: morriram@mscd.edu

  2. Once the Office of Human Resources receives your Eligibility and Need Assessment form and determines your eligibility to participate in the Student Employment Program, the Student Employment Coordinator will contact your agency. A non-negotiable 'College Work Study - Terms of Agreement' will be sent out to the agency. This is an agreement with Metropolitan State College of Denver that officially allows agencies to participate in the work-study program.

  3. The original agreement must be sent back to the Office of Human Resources. Once HR has signed the original agreement, your agency will be assigned an account number.

  4. Once a number is assigned, the Off-Campus Agency can post a job request on the Student Employment Job Posting Site.

  5. The Student Employment Coordinator will then schedule a visit to the agency. At the meeting, the Student Employment Coordinator will go over policies and procedures and answer any questions the supervisor may have. (After the initial meeting, the Student Employment Coordinator will visit the off-campus site at least once a year.)

  6. A new 'College Work Study - Terms of Agreement' must be signed every fiscal year in order to remain part of the program.

Student Eligibility to Participate in the Off-Campus Program

Students must be enrolled in at least 6 credit hours and maintain a satisfactory academic progress to keep their award. If a student drops below 6 credits during the semester, they lose their work-study award through the Office of Financial Aid. Therefore, any hours worked after the loss of their award will be billed 100% to the agency or department where they are working.
*Students who receive No-Need Work Study are not eligible to work off-campus through the work-study program.
