How to Hire a Student

Interviewing

  • Students will contact you directly via instructions on the posting.  We do not maintain a list of students who are looking for jobs.
  • Not all students are familiar with Federal Work Study (FWS) or financial aid, so we encourage you to double-check with the student that they have a current FWS award. Students who don’t receive financial aid will not have FWS.
  • Email the CWSP Coordinator the student’s name and Cornell Net ID to check the student’s eligibility.
  • Interview the student as you would a regular staff member.  Review the job description with them and discuss the tasks, responsibilities, and expectations associated with the job.
  • Discuss time management and scheduling, any other work-study or non-work-study jobs they may have, transportation issues, and any time constraints due to extracurricular/co-curricular activities.

 Ready to Hire a Student?

  • Once you’ve decided which student to hire, inform the Community Work-Study Program (CWSP) coordinator via cwsp@cornell.edu. The CWSP Coordinator will have the student complete the necessary program training and start the hire process in WorkDay.
  • WorkDay Access: On-campus CWSP appointments must be hired in WorkDay by the CWSP Coordinator due to Department of Education reporting.
  • Access to the appropriate student JM Org in Workday for the participating Cornell department must be granted to CWSP prior to the student-employee start date.  The employing department will need to provide CWSP with a staff contact who can facilitate this process in a timely manner.
  • You will receive a Hiring Addendum via email from the CWSP Coordinator to confirm receipt of the form and to verify hire has been put into the system.
  • Start Date: Once CWSP has appointed the student in WorkDay, the student will receive notifications on next steps to complete the onboarding process.

Conditions that Restrict a Student’s Ability to Start Working

If any of the following conditions exist, a student cannot begin working or be appointed to the University Payroll:  The student

  • has a hold on their college or university bursar account
  • is not registered with the university
  • has a dean’s hold
  • has a Financial Aid package that has not been finalized
  • does not have an I9 form on file (It proves eligibility to work in United States. Students who need an I9 can find an I9 “hub” on campus by reading I9 Hub Locations.)

For more information, please contact the CWSP Coordinator.
