Current Student Employees
Please submit them to Caryl Tuma in her office (A024A) by 5:00pm.
The new timecard format, will automatically calculate your hours. The old format is also available here. Also, please be reminded of the following timecard procedures:
- Your “start date” is the first date that you are recording on this particular time sheet (not the date that you started your job).
- You and your supervisor must BOTH sign your time sheet.
- Please submit hours in 15 minute (.25/hours) increments. For example, if you worked until 6:07, put 6:00pm on your time sheet. If you work until 6:08, you can put until 6:15.
- Please turn in only one sheet at a time. If any part of your time card, including the signature, is going to go onto a second page, please split up the sheets so that you are turning separate sheets into me that only have information on the front.

3. Interested students who meet the minimum qualifications should fill out some sort of application. The details of the hiring process are up to the supervisor. This application is available for you to use, but supervisors may also write their own application, and other details such as resumes or interviews are also the perogative of the supervisor.
