Student Employee Overview

Finding a Job

Available work study positions are posted by supervisors on the Career Development website. Please log-in to view positions, job descriptions, application instructions, and contact info.

The Hiring Process

Once you have been offered a work study position you must complete the Work Study Contract. Your supervisor will request the contract from Financial Aid and it will be sent to your MassArt email for signatures. You can not begin working until this contract has been completed and approved by Financial Aid.

Students who have not previously worked at MassArt will also need to complete Tax and Employment Eligibility documents. All of these forms will be completed electronically through a system called NeoGov. An activation email from donotreply@neogov.com will be sent to your MassArt email address when you have been offered a position. Payroll reviews the material and students should contact that office for questions or concerns. Students are not allowed to work until these forms have been completed.

Below are descriptions of the forms required for first time employment.
