McCannel Hall
Career Services’ goal is to assist students and alumni in planning for and carrying out their job searches. This is accomplished through individual and group assistance in job search techniques, resume/letter writing, and interviewing skills. A division of Career Services, Cooperative Education, works with employers and academic departments to provide opportunities for students to combine course work with practical, professional employment in their chosen fields.
The Career Services office
coordinates activities such as on-campus interviews, provides specialized
workshops, and holds three Career Fairs annually. Our resource library houses
labor market information, audiovisual materials, company literature,
computerized job information systems, and direct on-line access to the
Internet.
Students in all disciplines are
encouraged to register. Registration is done on-line via the Career Services
homepage. Once registered, students will have access to job openings, become
available to employers searching our data base, and be able to sign up for
Cooperative Education opportunities and on-campus interviews.

The Student Financial Aid Office
assists students and their families in meeting the costs of higher education by
providing students with financial assistance and by providing families with
access to options and information on financial planning to help students
achieve their educational goals. The philosophy of the Student Financial Aid
Office is that the primary responsibility for financing a college education
lies with the student and their family. The financial aid offered by the
University is viewed only as a supplement to the family support. The amount of
the student’s financial need is based on the difference between the cost of
education for the school year and a contribution calculated from the family’s
total financial resources.
Financial assistance is available to
assist students with temporary emergencies as well as to provide long term
funds for financing a college education. Students are offered financial
assistance in various forms, including scholarships, grants, employment, and
loan programs. The Student Financial Aid Office maintains a listing of both on-
and off-campus part-time jobs. More information on programs and procedures are
available from the Student Financial Aid Office and in the Student Financial
Aid section.
