F-1 On-Campus Employment

On-Campus Employment

On-campus employment is employment for 911±¬ÁÏÍø on the 911±¬ÁÏÍø campus.  You can work on-campus if:

  • You have valid F-1 status
  • You are enrolled full-time in a 911±¬ÁÏÍø program
  • You have an unexpired passport
  • You have a valid, unexpired Form I-20 signed by your DSO
  • You have an I-94 record annotated "F-1 D/S"

F-1 students cannot work off-campus without a valid Employment Authorization Document (EAD).

Requirements for On-Campus Employment

  • Students who are outside the U.S. are not eligible to work.
  • Your employment MUST take place at a 911±¬ÁÏÍø office or department, or at an established off-campus agency that provides direct services to students.  For more information about student employment and to find a listing of on-campus and approved off-campus student job opportunities, please visit Financial Aid Student Employment Handshake. 
  • According to F-1 student immigration regulations, you may work on a part-time basis, and no more than 20 hours per week, during the academic year (September-May). Employment can never exceed 20 hours in any given week during the academic year.  F-1 students may work up to full-time during the winter and summer break.  You may work for more than one on-campus employer, but the cumulative total must never exceed 20 hours per week during the academic year.
  • Your on-campus employment position cannot be college work-study.  Work-study is a U.S. government funded financial aid program for U.S. citizens and permanent residents only.  International, non-U.S. students are not permitted to accept work-study positions.
  • Your employment may, but is not required to be related to your field of study.
