On campus jobs are open to all students who are enrolled at least half time! We have already processed over 1500 applications for students who are working on campus so opportunities are competitive, but the good news is there are jobs available on campus all year!
If your student has Federal or State Work Study, and they choose to use that award, they will be paid as employees and their earnings will be deducted from the awarded amount. Unlike other financial aid awards (i.e.-grants, scholarships), work study earnings will not be automatically paid to your student’s tuition, but paid to your student as a paycheck. The offer to use work study is available to all students when they become employed; there are no sign-ups for work study programs.
The State Work Study Program is designed to provide paraprofessional work experiences for students in fields related to their career goals. There are over 100 contracted employers that advertise and hire 300+ PLU students each year. If your student has been awarded work study they are eligible for either on-campus Federal Work Study or off campus State Work Study.
This fall the Student Employment office is premièring our Student Work Orientation video. It will be available on the website and will be a valuable resource for students regarding job search and important work ethics. Talk to your student and encourage them to take advantage of the opportunities available to them through the Student Employment office.

Get a Kit. Make a Plan. Be
Informed.
There
are three simple steps your student should take to prepare for an emergency on
campus or in their neighborhood.
First, they should purchase or prepare
an emergency kit to have in their on or off-campus housing.
Second, they should know what to expect
and what to do at PLU during various types of emergencies.
Third, they should make a communication
plan with you (their family) when traditional communication is not possible.
Students
may purchase an emergency kit at the Garfield Book Company at PLU. Or, for help
in preparing your own kit, go to ready.gov or the Washington Military
Department. Students should practice by carrying their kits during
evacuation drills.
You or your student may review PLU emergency procedures
by visiting the Emergency Programs
Office Website or contacting them at
253-538-6042. For instance, dialing 7911 from any campus phone or 911 from any
cell phone will connect your student to emergency help. Reminder your student
that it’s a good idea to actively participate in campus drills!
Local telephones, cell phones, and e-mail may not work
during a disaster. However, it is often possible to call outside the local
affected area. Your family should make a plan to call an out-of-state number,
so each person can report they are safe.
You and your student may also sign up to receive
emergency text messages online. Emergency text messages will
describe the emergency, suggest a course of action and refer you to other
sources of information. A drawing from those who have registered in September to receive emergency text messages will be held on Oct. 1. The prize will be a $50 gift certificate to the Garfield Book Company at PLU.
