Approved TCCS departments/programs based at the Consortium and off-campus organizations have the opportunity to employ Pitzer students. Students who have work-study are traditionally hired and paid by Pitzer College.
TCCS, Consortium & Off-Campus Employers with Contracts
Organizations that currently have off-campus contracts:
- Should follow the posting information provided below.
- Should verify that their students are eligible for work-study (as this is the source of their earnings).

The Office of Financial Aid will email off-campus contracts to supervisors on file. All off-campus contracts must be renewed each school year.

Pitzer-Pomona Shared Resources & Departments
Organizations that are considered a Pitzer-Pomona shared resource/department:
Work-Study
Work-study students who work for these departments are hired and paid by Pitzer College and can only earn up to the amount of the work-study allotment. Students who exceed their work-study allotment will be asked to stop working unless the department has additional resources to continue your employment.
Non Work-Study
Non work-study students are hired and paid directly by the department, which is a part of Pomona College, not Pitzer. Students are paid directly by the organization and may be limited in earnings based on the organization’s budget.
Pitzer-Pomona Shared Resources & Departments
- Intercollegiate Department of Asian American Studies (IDAAS)
- Intercollegiate Department of Africana Studies (IDAS)
- Intercollegiate Media Studies
- Intercollegiate Neuroscience Program
- Queer Resource Center (QRC) – Pomona
- Rains Center/Athletics – Pomona
- Theatre & Dance Department – Pomona
Work-Study Hours/Limits
Work-study students should work anywhere between 5 – 7 hours per week in order to earn their work-study allocation evenly throughout the academic year. Students are able to work up to 8 hours per day and 20 hours per week while classes are in session; however, continually doing so may cause the student to run out of funding mid-semester. Students have access to their work-study allotment on their student portal and can also print an aid eligibility letter.
Students should work between 5 – 7 hours/week to ensure they do not run out of work-study funds.
