If you have accepted work-study on your financial aid offer, you will receive a work-study contract if you already have a job. If you do not have a job, you can apply for one in Handshake.

All undergraduate students are expected to obtain 150 SFP credits (semester average of 19 SFP for eight semesters) by the end of their senior year in order to receive their diploma. Campus Ministry offers both a variety and an abundance of opportunities each semester to obtain these! Upon transcript evaluation, there is a possibility for pre-earned academic credits to result in prorated SFP credits. Use the iAttended app on your smartphone or mobile device to check into any SFP event and keep track of upcoming events. More information can be found here.
