Finding On Campus Jobs

Many on-campus jobs are posted on RockyLink, our job and internship posting system. 
However, other jobs may be available directly through a campus department or employer, for example:

• Campus Recreation
• Ramsey Library
• University Bookstore
• Dining Services

Federal Work Study

Federally funded work-study (FWS) positions* are available for eligible students to work on-campus or in off-campus community service positions. The FWS Program mostly follows the policies and procedures established by the Student Employment Program for non-FWS campus jobs. Any changes reflect federal accountability concerns. *The UNC Asheville priority deadline to apply for Federal Work Study is March 1st for the following fall semester. Students must reapply each year to FAFSA to qualify for an award. The application is available at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/.  For more information, please contact Financial Aid.

Student Employment Incentive Program

In Fall 2010, the University created a new funding source to support additional campus jobs administered by the Career Center. This  initiative recognized the need to support students in gaining work experience on-campus that complements their liberal arts education, as well as to support departments’ implementation of their missions with qualified workers.
