Aim for success, not perfection.  Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life.

--Dr. David M Burns

A college degree is not a sign that one is a finished product but an indication a person is prepared for life.

--Reverend Edward A. Malloy

It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.

--Seneca

If you are a job applicant interested in a support staff position, ask Human Resources for the Non-Exempt Staff Positions Application, or use our electronic version that allows data entry from a word processing program. 

The Non-Exempt Staff Positions Application can be sent to your e-mail address so you can complete it with a typewriter or fill out in ink. Just send a request via e-mail to: amwhiteneck@nwosu.edu or call 580-327-8143.  All versions of the application must be printed and sent to NWOSU Human Resources Office so we will have a live signature on file.

Finalists for any temporary/permanent full-time/part-time staff positions must successfully pass a background check before we can make a final offer.   Call 580-327-8530 for more information.

In compliance with federal law, all new hires will be asked to sign an acknowledgement that they have read and understand the Drug-free Policy Statement.  Their signature is a commitment to abide by the policy.  Failure to abide by the policy can result in serious sanctions, including dismissal.

Drug-free Policy Statement


DIRECT DEPOSIT

State law (74 O.S. 292.12) requires all state agencies-- such as NWOSU-- to enroll every employee in the Direct Deposit program.   

Direct Deposit is one of our most popular free benefits that provides security and peace of mind each payday.  

Enid workers--see Charleen Carlile in the Business Office for help.  Woodward--see Linda Phillips in the Dean's Office.  Alva campus newhires will be enrolled by the Human Resources/Payroll staff.


Questions about pay and withholdings should be directed to the Payroll Accountant in Room 103 of Herod Hall.  Ph:  580-327-8531.  The dedicated fax number for Human Resources/Payroll is 580-327-8538.
