Dear CIM students with active work study jobs:
The Department of Education is permitting schools to continue to pay their students receiving federal work study this spring for their
regularly scheduled hours
.
It is important to note that this is only possible for students who were working prior to being displaced from campus. Students who were awarded work study but did not accept a work study job will not be paid that award (just as they would not be paid if they were on campus).
The following points apply:
- The Department clarifies that regularly scheduled is not necessarily the same as average number of hours.
- You may continue to enter the normal hours you would have worked into your TimesheetX account for each applicable job. Please be in touch with your work study supervisor(s) directly to clarify what your regularly scheduled hours are if you are not sure.
- CIM will continue to pay until your federal work study award has been paid in full, or the end of the spring term (May 7), whichever occurs first.
- Those students who are receiving any other type of work study and are able to work remotely will be paid for those hours worked.
