OFFICE OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENT SERVICES
On-Campus Employment
There are a limited number of on-campus employment opportunities at Wesley that are open to all students (both domestic and international). The good news is international students do not need approval from ISS before accepting on-campus employment. However, once hired, you will be required to apply for a Social Security number. In order to successfully complete your Social Security application, you will need a letter from ISS regarding your employment. So, while you do not need any authorization from ISS to work on campus, you will have to coordinate with ISS to secure documents necessary for the employment process.
The following regulations apply to on-campus employment for F-1 international students:
- F-1 students may not work on campus more than 20 hours per week when classes are in session.
- F-1 students may work more than 20 hours per week during official breaks in classes (such as winter break, summer, etc.).
- An F-1 student may not work on campus once they have completed their program and are in their 60-day grace period or on Active OPT. Done with program = done with on-campus employment.
- Spouses of F-1 students may not work at all, ever, not even a little bit.
