Our office works with students who have Federal Work-Study awards, Pepperdine Work Program awards, and students who would like to work even if they are not awarded work-study funds.

As a newly admitted student to Seaver College, you will gain access to our online job database, Handshake, during the week of NSO. For graduate students, please contact the Student Employment Office for a current list of job postings and offered services. You may begin applying for jobs on-campus and off-campus as early as NSO week.
