Summer On-Campus Positions
Summer Employment on-campus positions do not require a work study award to apply. If you meet the following conditions you will be eligible to work on campus:
- Student was enrolled full-time in classes during the Spring 2013 semester and
- Either will be enrolled during the summer or during the Fall 2013 semester or

Free Summer Housing Information
If you are working a summer campus position to earn free housing during the summer you will need to download and fill out the Summer Work and Housing Acknowledgment to qualify. The University has limited positions available during the summer and it is up to the student to be hired for and work either one or two positions in order to acquire the hours necessary to reach the 360 hours in the specified 12 week timeframe.
Students must work a total of 360 hours between the dates of May 1, 2013 and July 27, 2013 in order to receive free summer housing. This means an average of 30 hours of work a week. If the 360 is met within the specified time frame free housing will continue until August 10, 2013. This program cannot be pro-rated due to missions, coursework or any other student commitment (family and medical emergencies being the only possible exceptions and must be petitioned in writing). Summer work schedules end August 10th, 2013.
The maximum number of hours students can work in a single week cannot exceed 40 hours unless otherwise authorized by the department ORG manager and approved by the supervisor.
Housing charges will be recorded on a student’s account until the 360 hours are reached, at which point a scholarship will be applied for free housing. This benefit is in addition to a student’s paycheck and is a taxable benefit.

You can apply for a Social Security card at the local Social Security Office and begin working immediately after you have received a copy of the receipt of application from the Social Security Office. The actual card is mailed to you approximately two weeks after you have applied, and Career Services will then need to see the original document. International students can contact the International Admissions Office (918.495.6488) or a Student Employment Representative in Career Services (918.495.6912) with any questions.
