If you would like to obtain a different position than the one you are currently working, you must resign from your current position.
  • During break periods, a student may hold more than one position only with prior approval from the Office of Financial Aid (a Referral will be issued). Students who would like to work break periods must be registered for the following semester.
  • Any student interested in working in an on- or off-campus community service position with VITA, the NYC Public Service Corps, YMCA Virtual Y or any other community agencies must see the Office of Financial Aid for an application.
