County College of Morris provides opportunities for employment to its students as one form of financial assistance to help them meet their educational expenses. Every year, nearly 200 students work on campus in a variety of positions in more than forty different departments and areas. Positions are generally skill-related and successful placements call for a "fit" between job requirements and student abilities. "Ability" may refer to specialized knowledge, assignment familiarity, effective communication, interpersonal skills, and/or willingness to comply with specific department or supervisory requirements. Student aide positions may be clerical, lab-related, technical, academic (tutoring), among others.
Eligibility: Eligible students are those who are enrolled at CCM at least half time (6 credits). Note: Summer student employees need not be attending in the summer but must be registered half time for the fall. Students on F-1 visas must be enrolled full time.
CCM has two distinct student employment programs having different eligibility requirements but similar job opportunities:
The Federal Work-Study Program supports student employees who receive financial aid and are "awarded" part-time employment as part of their aid package. Students apply for financial aid, and, if eligible, are awarded work-study that is based on individual financial need. FWS students may earn up to the amount of their award, as specified by the Financial Aid Office, during the summer and/or academic year. (Financial aid application forms are available through the Financial Aid Office) Federal Work Study students are also encouraged to consider off-campus employment in community service agencies. These positions can prove to be personally enriching as they involve work which primarily benefits the community while providing students with valuable exposure to professional contacts.
The college-funded Student Aide Program employs students who are not financial aid recipients. The Student Aide Program is funded as part of the college’s operating budget and is based on institutional guidelines. Students who are US citizens, permanent residents, or who are on F-1 visas and who are not eligible for Federal Work-Study may apply.
