What is a student employee?
A student employee is a student hired for employment at MCC. For a student to be eligible for student employment, the following must be in place:
- You must be a current MCC student enrolled in at least 6 (six) credits each semester.
- You must be 18 (eighteen) years old or a high school graduate.
- You must apply for FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) before being considered for student employment. Your FAFSA must be on file with the Financial Aid Office before you apply for a position. Questions regarding FAFSA should be directed to Financial Aid (231.777.0221).
- You must be eligible to work in the United States of America.
- While attending MCC, you must possess and maintain a minimum 2.0 grade point average (GPA) to be eligible for student employment. If a current student employee fails to maintain the minimum 2.0 GPA, he or she will be given one semester to bring the overall GPA back up to 2.0 before employment is ended.
- You must have a resume and valid social security card for payroll purposes.
Keep in mind that these are the basic requirements for student eligibility. Many students may fit these definitions but, due to funding limitations, may not be awarded funding. In order to receive full consideration for financial assistance, completed FAFSA applications must be on file at the college prior to applying for positions.
