Allotments

Student Work Allotments

Each student is awarded a work allotment at the start of the academic year. Students may print their employment eligibility letter or view their allotment and earnings-to-date online at my.pomona.edu in the Financial Aid section. Please refer to How-to Student Employment Information on the Portal [pdf] for instructions.

When planning for your campus job, be sure to use our earnings calculator to estimate how much you will earn over the course of the semester or year.

Request for Additional Allotment

The Office of Financial Aid will notify you and each of your supervisors by email when you are within $300 of earning your annual allotment. Upon reaching your allotment, you will be terminated automatically within the College Payroll system. You and your supervisor will receive an electronic notification of the termination. Prior to automatic termination, you may discuss with your campus employer whether additional funds are available to pay you wages in excess of your allotment. If funds are available in your employer's budget and your employer indicates that they need you to work additional hours, your employer will send an email to the Student Employment Coordinator to request an allotment increase.

If you are approved for an increase, you will be notified by email.

Please note that wages earned on campus during winter break are considered part of your total annual work study allotment.
