On-Campus Employment On-campus employment is the most common form of employment used by students during the course of their studies. Students are eligible for up to 20 hours of employment on the premises of the school they attend while school is in session. Increased hours are permitted during breaks in class or between semesters. To qualify, the following conditions must apply: - You must be maintaining your student status
- The job opportunity must be considered to be “on-campus”
- You must continue to make reasonable progress towards your degree
- You cannot displace any US residents.
Please note, completing your degree requirements constitutes the end of your academic program in the eyes of the government and your on-campus work authorization terminates at that time. On-campus employment is limited to a total of 20 hours a week while school is in session. This includes any hours spent working as a research assistant or teaching assistant. However, when school is not in session, full-time, on-campus employment is permissible. Off-Campus Employment |
