<p>Okay, just a few questions I hope can get answered on here.</p>
<p>I start next month, I want to become a film major, but I have to transfer into that in my third year; what kind of classes should I be taking, or do I just need GE stuff?</p>
<p>With the work study option on the eFAN, does work study include the $500 a quarter + pay, or just the $500 a quarter?</p>
<p>Would a job at the calling center be more preferred or can I do that as a work study job? (I'm so unclear with the work study stuff, I know...)</p>
<p>Thanks if anyone can help me out. :)</p>
<p>I can answer your work-study questions. Accepting work-study on your eFAN only means you will be in the work-study program. This allows certain employers (most on-campus jobs, but also some off-campus) to hire you more cheaply. This works by having the federal government subsidize part of your check when you get paid. Your employer pays part of your wages, and the government pays part of your wages. But you get one check. This makes you more cheap to hire for employers, and it makes you more desirable to hire. Therefore, some jobs are for work-study students only, and there is a bulletin on the Financial Aid Office website/URSA where these jobs are posted. You will not earn the $500 unless you actually get a job. If you don’t get a job, you don’t get anything and your work-study money (work-study opportunity) is wasted. Once you get hired, then you start earning your work-study money. The $500 means that the government will only help pay your wages until you earn $500. It is possible to keep working at your job after you’ve earned $500 at your job, but that is up to your employer. You may have to stop working for the quarter, or you can be paid off work-study depending on the person who hires you.</p>
<p>The Calling Center might accept work-study applicants. You have to ask them. If they do accept work-study, they would be more willing to hire you than a student who doesn’t have work-study.</p>
