Student workers are important members of the Brevard College community. We view campus employment as an essential part of your education and professional growth. Through campus employment, you have the opportunity to acquire transferable skills and expertise that build resumes and launch careers as well as earn funds to pay towards your education.

Having a job on campus is an exceptional part of the Brevard experience. Whether you are giving tours, answering phones, assisting the IT department, working in the dining hall or the operations crew, filing paperwork, assisting at athletic events, or working with the theatre, you will find a great connection to the Brevard community. Plus you will gain valuable work experience and earn money toward tuition and other expenses.

The Office for Career Exploration & Development will place all new work-study students. A complete list of work-study job descriptions is available below. *There are limited positions in some departments and openings are filled as they are available. Students added to the work-study program in the Spring semester will be placed in available openings on a case-by-case basis.

Student Accounts 

Any student awarded either a Federal Work Study or Institutional Work Study may choose to apply their earnings to their account balance with BC.  In order to do so, please complete the Work-Study Pay Agreement Form below and return it to the Business Office for processing.  Failure to turn the form in to the Business Office may result in your agreement not being applied to your account.

A pay agreement for work-study will not be entered until all BC, state, and federal paperwork is completed to be able to work on campus and a supervisor is assigned.  The amount entered as a credit on your student account will be a maximum of $750 (100%) per semester, depending on how much you decide to have applied to your account balance.  This pending credit will reduce the amount owed on your student account.

However, you must follow the schedule below in order to have the pending credit remain on your account.  Failure to have met the hours below, depending on pay rate, will result in the pending credit being removed from your account.

For questions regarding the Work-Study Pay Agreement process, please contact Student Accounts at studentaccounts@brevard.edu or 828-641-0275.
