Student Employment

To provide the greatest number of students with an opportunity to work on campus, all employed students (FWS and regular pay) will be eligible to earn up to $1,150 per term, which averages approximately 10 hours weekly for the full term. Available campus positions will be posted on WorkLink at least one week before the start of term. Reminder: Positions on campus are for one term only, so if you worked on campus last term and would like to work on campus this term, check with your supervisor regarding their plans to rehire.

Returning students, first-year students who do not have a Federal Work Study (FWS) award, and students seeking additional hours/positions may apply for campus jobs with these steps. If you have not worked on campus before, you need to first visit the Payroll Office in Barn 101.

Step 1: Complete Application

Complete the online Student Employment Application and review “Terms and Conditions of Employment.” Both are located in the Document Library of WorkLink, along with instructions. You need to complete a new application each term even if you worked on campus in the past.
Step 2: Apply for Job(s)

Upload the application to the “Your Documents” section of WorkLink and use this to apply online to any campus jobs listed on WorkLink. Note that some positions may require other information (such as a resume), skills, or experience. Please upload your resume as a “resume” and your application as an “other document” in the “Your Documents” section. If you do not yet have a resume, upload your application as a “resume.” WorkLink needs you to have something in the “resume” category before it will let you apply for jobs.
Step 3: Meet with Employment Coordinator

If interested, an employment coordinator or supervisor will be in touch with you to set up an interview. It can be a good idea to follow up with individual offices after you have applied to inquire about your application status if you do not hear from someone within a week. If you are filling a position you held last term and have confirmation from your supervisor that you will be rehired, continue to step 4.
Step 4: Complete Authorization Form

If you are hired, give your Authorization Form (sent to your College mailbox at the start of term) to the employment coordinator or supervisor for completion, and you can begin work.

Students who wish to supplement their campus earnings or who are not working on campus but wish to have a job should consider seeking employment with local businesses. The FWT & CDO has a list of local businesses and their contact information listed in the Document Library of WorkLink. You may also check jobs in WorkLink listed under “Off campus-Local to Bennington” for postings.

The Bennington Card

The Bennington Card is your official identification card and is required for students to access essential campus services and facilities, including meal plans, library privileges, and access to the Meyer Recreation Barn. The Bennington Card also has an optional declining balance account feature. By adding funds to the Bennington Card declining balance account, students can make cashless purchases on and off campus.

Questions? Contact a Bennington Card Service Center representative at 877-505-3007.
Declining Balance Feature

If you have not yet used the declining balance function of your Bennington Card, we remind you that there are no costs to add value to or use the Bennington Card account. Account balances on your card roll over from term to term and year to year, and can be refunded when you leave the College. If your Bennington Card is lost or stolen, your account can be immediately suspended and any balances are automatically transferred to your replacement card. You have 24/7 access to a secure online account center to add value, review transactions, and more.
Change to Billing Options for Campus Services

Payment via your student bill is no longer an option for deferred billing on transactions around campus. Payment at the time of service or within a short timeframe is expected by cash, check, or Bennington Card. Bills for Health and Psychological Services will be sent via email directly to students within a couple of days of the appointment; payments (by cash, check, Bennington Card, or credit card) can be made in the Health Services Office, Commons. As always, credit cards can be used for purchases in the College Bookstore, Student Center, at some vending machines, and to add funds to your Bennington Card account online. Please note: Items which remain unpaid and are placed on your student bill may result in an additional charge.

Your campus email address is the primary way we will communicate with you, so please check it often.
