Work Study Program
I looked through OSCAR to apply for an on-campus job during the academic year and I found a few jobs that I was interested in.

My question is can I apply to more than one of those jobs at once? The reason I'm asking is because if I don't get in one job, I still have another opportunity with another. However, I can only upload one cover-letter on OSCAR and if I were to apply to let say 3 jobs and see which one I get in, how do I apply with 3 seperate cover letters? or is this even possible?

You can upload more than one cover letter, and when you click the "Apply" button, you can choose which one to apply with before you click the "Submit Documents" button

Do you know how the work-study/McWork thing works? Do you just apply online on MUGSI and they give you a job?

For one job they wanted me to go in for an interview. But i'm not sure if that's for all of the work-study jobs.

You apply online through MUGSI to get approval for the work-study program, then apply through OSCAR for jobs, and go through a normal interview process like you would for any other job.

im a bit confused about the applying online part... i went onto MUGSI, and i found the place where you can apply online for a work-study prog. But it says i have to print something out... im a bit confused about that, because if i have to print it then its not really applying online is it?

can someone just clear that up for me... thanks.

If you have applied for osap, then the process of applying only includes accepting the terms of the program and then it gives you an option to print it.
You can check the status of your application on Mugsi (by clicking work program status) after one business day to make sure its been approved.
