Federal Work Study & Student Employment
The purpose of the Federal Work Study program is to provide opportunities for students to earn additional incomes to assist with paying for living and educational expense. Students and universities participating in the FWS program are required to adhere to the rules and regulations established by the Department of Education that governs the program. Through the FWS program, students can work part-time while enrolled in school to help finance their college education. Below are some rules that must be adhered to as a student worker.
Maximum work hours
During the school year, students may work a maximum of 20 hours per week regardless of the number of jobs they have. If a student has more than one job, the total hours worked at all jobs must not exceed 20 hours per week. During the summer, students may work up to 37.5 hours per week. Students are allowed a maximum of one work study job and two non-work study jobs.
Payment
Students with hourly jobs will be paid on a bi-weekly basis. The payroll biweekly pay calendar is located on your Kronos. All Tulane employees are required to make arrangements with Student Employment for direct deposit to receive payroll payments. Student must complete the Authorization for Direct Deposit form along with other hiring paperwork. The bi-weekly payments will then be deposited directly into the student’s bank account.
Work during classes
Students are Not permitted to work during class time even if a class has been cancelled. All student workers must provide their supervisor with an official class schedule at the beginning of each enrollment term.
Inability to work a scheduled shift
It is your responsibility to communicate to the office and your supervisor when you are unable to work. Please let your supervisor know in a timely manner if you will be unable to work. If you are sick, let your supervisor know as soon as possible.

In addition to these responsibilities, students have daily maintenance tasks to keep our office clean and organized at all times.

Accessing Banner
Banner 9 is used to look up student information, process enrollment certifications, and check for holds on student accounts. To login to banner:
Go to www.gibson.tulane.edu and login with your Tulane login
On the Gibson home page, select the Staff tab
Click Banner-9 on the top left under “Administrative”
This will take you to the Banner homepage where you will use codes to look up student information. The page should look like this:
Using Banner
If a student would like to order a transcript online or an enrollment certification, before you instruct them to do either of these, use Banner to check if the student has any holds on their account.
NOTE: Only the student can check for holds on their student account. If a parent is calling to check a student account, respectfully ask them if the student can join the phone call or have the student call us themselves.
Holds - SOAHOLD
Checking for holds
In the search bar on the home page of banner, type in “SOAHOLD”
Type the student’s Tulane ID number into the search bar
Their name will pop up next to the number, be sure to confirm their name
A page will then pop up listing any current and past holds.
There are many different reasons for holds being placed on a student account. Our office is concerned with registration, diploma, and transcript holds. The hold type will tell you what type of hold is on the account. This is a 2-letter code on the left. Below is a table of what each hold means:

Interpreting holds
The hold type will tell you what department the hold is coming from (check table above)
The Hold Type Description will describe more what the hold is
Look at the dates for the hold. If the “TO” date ends in 2099, this means the hold is in place.
If the “TO” date ends before today’s current date (ex: 8/02/2019), then this is a past hold that has already been resolved.
The reason field will sometimes include a description of why the hold is there
Ex: for Accounts Receivable holds, the description will say “Delinquent Account- Past due” which means the student needs to pay their account balance before they can register/order transcripts/etc.
The other columns on the form are not relevant.
Communicating holds information to students
Before informing a student of their holds, double check that you are only looking at holds that end in 2099. Check what department the hold is coming from. The departments themselves own the holds, and our office is unable to resolve holds coming from other departments. So, direct the student to contact that department to see what the issue is and then it can be resolved from there.
Example prompt for informing a student of their hold:
“I apologize, but I see that a hold has been placed on your account by (DEPARTMENT NAME). Unfortunately, our office is unable to remove the hold, so I can transfer you to the (DEPARTMENT NAME) to get the matter resolved. Let me also give you’re their phone number and email to contact them. Once the holds have been removed you will be able to register, get your transcripts/diplomas, etc.”
Enrollment Verifications - SFARQST
Now that the student account has been checked for any holds using SOAHOLD, you can go back to the main screen of Banner 9 to order an Enrollment Certification using SFARQST. An Enrollment Certification is available to all students (past, present, alumni) of Tulane University from 1980 to present. Enrolled students or alumni that have access to Gibson can request a certification though their Gibson account, or if preferred, can come into the office. Anyone coming into the office needing an enrollment verification will receive same day service at no charge.
Requests made on behalf of a student from a verification company, often referred to as a third-party company, should be instructed to call the National Student Clearinghouse. If the caller states the request was submitted to the NSC, however; a response has not been received or they have additional questions, the call should be transferred to a staff member for assistance. Their phone number is posted at the front desk.
Processing enrollment verifications
If a student comes into the office requesting an enrollment certification WITHOUT A GPA DISPLAYED, we are able to process and print it for them. Steps:
Type “SFARQST” into the search bar on Banner 9
Enter the student ID number in the ID box
In the Term box, enter the term
(year) + 10 for Spring, + 20 for Summer, or +30 for Fall

Click “Go”

Ensure that the term is correct at the top
In the next box that says “Type”, type in NGPA (Does not Display GPA)
As student interns, we are not able to look at any information that includes a student’s GPA or grades
If the student is requesting a certification with a GPA, tell your supervisor and they will do it for you
Insert the number of copies
Under Recipient Name and Address, in the box titled “Alternate Addressee”, type the student’s name
If the student has requested to receive the enrollment cert via email, type the email address in the box “Street Line 1”
If the student wants it mailed, complete the mailing address fields
Save the form by hitting save at the bottom of the screen. To ensure it saved, a message will pop up saying “1 record applied and saved.”
The enrollment certifications will then automatically go to the Registrar’s Box account in the folder titled EnrollCert
Here you can open the enrollment certification and print it in the office
Emboss the printed seal at the bottom of the page before presenting to the student/mailing. Email the verification so they have it for their records.
Once the verification is printed or emailed, move it to the Processed Enroll Cert folder in Box and click the arrow to the next one. Then, Click the X in the top right corner to exit.
