Faculty and staff who employ students from the Canisius Earning Excellence Program (CEEP) are asked to remind their students to fill out applications for 2018-19 employment. Renewal is not automatic. Any office on campus can employ a CEEP student with an appropriate project. The online application is open for students from February 1, 2018 to February 28, 2018.

More information and current online applications are available on the myCanisius portal here. Click on the CEEP link located in the center “Need to Know” section on the portal.
The rate for CEEP is $11.25 per hour minus taxes, for a maximum of 150 hours.
