Definition of a Student Employee: an individual whose employment
is incidental to the pursuit of a full-time course of study at the
university. Individuals who have been admitted to the university, who
take a full course load during an academic year as defined by the
particular school or college in which they are enrolled, and who
simultaneously are employed will be classified as student employees.
Individuals may remain student employees during vacation
periods-including summer-provided that they maintain their enrollment
status for the following academic term. Upon graduation, these
individuals will no longer be considered student employees of the
university.
Financial Aid
Students may receive Federal Work-Study or Pepperdine Work (See
section on Job Programs) as part of their Financial Aid Package.
Students may utilize these funds for on-campus or community service
employment. Eligibility for these programs is determined by the
Financial Aid Office. In general, these work awards are awarded to
students who demonstrate a financial need.

I-9 Form
The Immigration and Reform Act of 1986 requires each employee to
provide documentation that verifies the employee's identity and
eligibility to work (Ex. U.S. Passport, Social Security Card or Birth
Certificate with Picture Identification) prior to or on the date of
employment. In addition, each student employee must complete an I-9
Form. Students are considered temporary employees for I-9 purposes
and must complete a new I-9 Form every 3 years. Upon completion of
this process, the student will be issued an I-9 Authorization Card.
Students must obtain a "new" I-9 Authorization Card each academic
year before reporting to work.
W-4 Form
All on-campus employment is taxable income. Students must
complete a W-4 Form prior to employment. Students are subject to
Federal and State taxes. The student may, however, claim exempt
status if eligible. Students are exempt from FICA taxes (Ex; Social
Security, State Disability) while enrolled Full-time at the
University. International Students are FICA exempt. All students must
have a valid Social Security number.
