On-campus employment

International students who have a valid, current F-1 visa are eligible for part time (20 hours per week) employment on campus. F-1 students must maintain good Department of Homeland Security status to be eligible for on-campus employment.

Off-campus employment

An F-1 student may be authorized by the Department of Homeland Security to work off-campus while school is in session based on severe economic hardship. (Proof of economic hardship is required.) The student must be enrolled full time, in F-1 status for at least one full academic year and be in good academic standing. For employment authorization forms and instructions, visit the International Student Office. DHS Employment Authorization is automatically terminated if a student does not maintain good F-1 status.
