Student Employment FAQs

Yes. If you did not receive work study funds LMU still has many opportunities for student employment both on campus and off. Many departments such as Housing, the School of Film and Television, Athletics, and Burns Rec (and more) hire students with non-work study funds. These positions can be found on Workday by filtering for "Non-Work Study" positions under the "Job Profile" filter. LMU also has vendors on campus (LMU Dining, LMU Bookstore, etc.) that hire students regardless of work-study eligibility.
