Getting Started

Once I’m approved and hired, how do I access my timesheet?
  • The timesheet can be found on MySwarthmore under the “Employee” tab.
  • If you have any questions please email Student Payroll (studentpayroll@swarthmore.edu).
What is hiring priority and when does it take place?
  • Hiring priority refers to the College’s policy and expectation that supervisors will grant hiring priority to students who have been awarded a campus job monetary expectation as part of their financial aid decision. The hiring priority is usually the first week of classes.
  • Students who are work-aided are students who have work aid in their financial aid award. During this period, students who do not have work-aid will not be able to apply or be hired into any position.
