On-Campus Employment

F-1 students are eligible to work on-campus while attending classes. The work does not need to be related to your field of study. You must maintain legal F-1 status while engaging in on-campus employment. All students working on campus must complete the On-Campus Work Authorization Form to obtain written approval from the International Student Services office.

Federal Work Study is a federally funded employment program available only to U.S. citizens and permanent residents as part of federal financial aid packages. If you receive Federal Work Study as part of your financial aid packet, you should check postings for the “FWS Eligible” designation. If you do not know for sure if you qualify for FWS, you should check with the Financial Aid Office to inquire.
