Helpful Information

WORK STUDY/ ON-CAMPUS JOBS

1. All on-campus jobs are posted on the Experience Job Board. On-campus jobs are filled quickly so you want to apply before school if possible. Some jobs will be available the week of school. Attend the Back-to- School Job Fair, Wednesday, August 24th from 11-2 in Shamblin Theater.

2. Receiving a work-study financial aid package does not guarantee an on-campus job so you must apply and receive a work study job in order to receive those funds.

3. If you are hired, the student will receive a check. The funds are not automatically paid to the tuition.

4. More than just on-campus jobs are available for work study students. Pencil Foundation and Y.E.S are off-campus employers of work study approved students.

OFF- CAMPUS JOBS

1. All job opportunities are posted on the Experience Job Board. A variety of employers call us daily requesting Lipscomb student employees. Interested in babysitting? Check out Experience today to see profiles of families.

2. Having a job is an important development tool. Working 8-10 hours a week helps you structure your week and often students do better in school that work a few hours each week.

CHOOSING A MAJOR?

1. Choosing a Major is a difficult decision. If you have a lot of different ideas then it may be best to be undecided and work with our office. We offer various activities to meet professionals in different fields so you can better assess your career interests.

2. If you have declared a major, it is still okay to explore other career options.

3. Check out our Corporate Visits on September 23rd to learn more about your opportunity to explore careers.
