The United States Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and
the sponsoring agencies of international students impose rules and
procedures on the employment of international students. Because each
student’s situation is different, you are strongly encouraged to
talk with the International Student
Services Office (ISSO) in
regard to your specific situation.
International Student Services
Office is located in Edwards Center One on the seventh floor in
Room 773. Contact ISSO to
determine your eligibility to work. All F-1 and J-1 international
students are authorized to work on campus 20 hours per week while
school is in session. There is no hourly limitation during scheduled
breaks (i.e. summer, winter).
Locate on-campus jobs at UC’s Student
Employment Services website which not only allows you to view on
campus job opportunities but to apply online. Not all positions are
posted online. Identify the type of work that you would like to do and
which departments may need your assistance. If you are interested in
working for a certain college or department, contact them directly to
identify available positions.
You may work only on campus, unless granted permission by ISSO/INS
to work off campus. Details on your eligibility to work off campus can
be found at ISSO.
The ISSO can provide you with
information on visa status, tax filing, and immigration, as well as
upcoming social events.
