All students who are new to Naz are encouraged to participate in the orientation program. This is your best opportunity to get to know the campus and meet your classmates, as well as many faculty and staff members. All meals are included.
Contact Academic Success & Accessibility or Health and Counseling depending on the need.
The teams work to assist students in their academic, personal, or social transition to Nazareth. Staff help students establish a plan for success by honing skills and utilizing appropriate academic and campus resources.
If you want to take a campus tour, see Admissions Visits & Events.
We have resources for students, family, and supporters. If you have a question and don't know where to start, we will do our very best to assist you. Contact us at 585-389-2884 or 585-389-2885 for more information.
Notify Academic Success & Accessibility immediately to communicate about a student's whereabouts. Students are also advised to stay in touch with faculty during an absence, via email or phone, so that they can continue to be aware of assignments, deadlines, and such.
If the absence turns into something long-term, Academic Advisement can assist with a leave of absence from Nazareth.
The federal work-study program is a form of need-based financial aid that subsidizes student wages. Many departments prefer to hire students who are eligible in order to take advantage of this subsidy and a few can only hire students who are eligible.
Each student who is eligible for work-study employment is allocated a certain amount of money that may be earned as part of the program, but not exceeded. If you are eligible you will receive an email message from the Center for Life’s Work that includes the amount of money you may earn and an estimate of how many hours per week you can work on average without exceeding the earnings limit. Eligibility for work-study does NOT guarantee you a job. You must apply and be accepted for an available position.
Work-study provides a paycheck every two weeks, based on the number of hours worked. Because students receive pay directly, work-study does not credit their term bill. See the Nazareth payroll page for the work-study pay rate.
If you are unsure whether federal work-study is part of your package, please contact the Financial Aid Office at 585-389-2310 or email finaid@naz.edu.
See Federal Work Study program page for more information.

This answer is unique to each individual. Consider consulting with campus experts such as coaches, advisors, faculty, and staff, who are all here to support you.
Research has found a positive relation between academic achievement and working fewer than 20 hours per week on campus, but a negative relationship between academic achievement and working more than 20 hours per week.
We generally don't advise more than 15 hours a week for part-time employment.
