For many students, returning to Sacred Heart from summer or winter break to start a fresh new semester often times means the end of that part-time job and the return of being broke once again.
During the first few weeks of the semester many students realize that they must add a part-time job to their already hectic schedules and scramble to look for ways to make some cash.
Local businesses are usually bombarded by those seeking to become employed and positions quickly fill up.
As a student of Sacred Heart, the facility has provided you with the means to be employed with a job on campus if you desire.
This opportunity is sometimes overlooked by those not realizing what they need is within reach and often times goes unnoticed by many.
There are two ways of being employed on campus.
The first is being hired through Work-Study, which is a program of financial aid funded through the federal government that helps students manage their school expenses.
For those wondering if they are able to participate for this program, you would be alerted through your Financial Aid Award Letter if you meet the qualifications.
If you are awarded the opportunity, the next step would be to fill out an application that remains in your file and then get a Referral Form from the Financial Aid office that will provide you access to Kronos (electronic timecard) upon being approved for a position.
The Work-Study program also has positions that provide students with access to work in the Bridgeport school system, which can be beneficial for those looking for experience in working in a structured or educational setting.
The second method of working on campus is simply being hired through an office to work part-time.
This method works on a first-come-first-served basis and provides the individual with a job just like any other they might find off campus.
Students often find that the benefits of working on campus out-weigh the annoyances of having to commute to a job.

I would like to add that the Ryan-Matura Library typically employs around 20 students each semester. A majority of the jobs are for work-study students, however, there are a few that do not. (Continued…)
