Employer FAQ

No, our service is free to both employers and Colorado State University students.


- What is ODDJOBS?

This category may be used for off-campus temporary short term employment.


- Why was my work-study student's allocation changed?

When a student's eligibility for financial aid changes, it may be necessary to change the amount of the work-study award. It is very important to check the work-study earnings report every pay period to see if the work-study allocation has changed.

Contracted employers are required to pay 30% of the student's gross earnings. 70% is paid from the work-study fund.

Students may have only one work-study assignment at any time. However, multiple student hourly assignments are allowed.
