WORK STUDY STILL WORKS

Federal Work Study rules at MHCC have recently been altered, due to the college campus being closed, but the program is still active.

Students who are currently employed as a Work Study student and are enrolled in six credits or more may still be eligible to be paid for their work if they have been impacted by shutdown or classes being moved to online.

That includes work they would have normally done during Spring Term (and including the Spring Break), but cannot because of the physical closure.

These students should contact their Work Study supervisor or Mt. Hood’s Student Employment department if they think that this applies to them or if they have questions about their work.

The supervisor can directly input the projected hours of the student, or the student can add their hours and ask their supervisor to approve it.

As far as Summer Term, in order to receive Work Study salary, students should be enrolled in two or more credits and intend to be enrolled during Fall Term, as well.
