Apply for a Work-Study Position

How To Apply for Work-Study

To apply for a College Work-Study position in Handshake:

1. Set up your Dallas College student account in Workday.

• • Tutorials to set up Workday
  • If your Dallas College file is missing any information, you will receive an email about Financial Aid Action Items Needed. You can also check your Workday account to look for those items. Check your email regularly. Sometimes, even after you have completed all the steps in the financial aid process, Dallas College will need more information from you. If this happens, we will send you an information request by email. (If you do not receive financial aid funds when you expect to, it may be because we need more information.)
  • Check My Financial Aid Status to see if you meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress standards.
  • Select a program of study: Financial Aid will only pay for classes that are part of your program of study. You must select a primary program of study, if you have not done so already. Schedule a meeting with a success coach to discuss Dallas College programs and select one: DallasCollege.edu/MeetYourCoach.

2. Register for at least six hours (Fall/Spring/Summer) and pay the tuition if you do not have any other financial aid.  
3. Prepare your resume. If you need resume assistance, contact the Career Services Office via email at CareerAndTransfer@DallasCollege.edu to meet with someone in Career Services.
4. Log in to Handshake to apply for work-study positions.

• • Your account already exists. You will log in using your standard Dallas College login credentials.
  • To view available work-study positions, click on the Jobs tab and select the Work-Study option under All Filters. 
  • To apply, click the Apply Externally button and follow the prompts. This will take you to a new page to submit your application.
