For Students with Work-Study Funding

Did you know that students with work-study funding have special access to many positions on campus not open to other students? See this link for more information about work study. 

To look for Work-study jobs, go to MyDU / My4D  > at the top, Search "PCO" and select "Pioneer Careers Online (PCO)". On this site, select the Job Board from the left to view jobs. You may use the filter settings to only show Work-Study positions or only non-work-study jobs as well. 

Note: Due to the FAFSA delays this year, some students' work-study information in PCO is still updating.

Did you know student employees have access to paid leave time? Well now you do! See Student Employments' blog, linked here, for details on the two types of leave that student employees are eligible for.
