On-Campus Jobs
On-Campus Jobs
International Visa Students are permitted to work on-campus without a work permit, provided they are registered full-time students in good academic standing. Students apply to jobs that may interest them from a listing posted each semester. A decision is made by the department offering a student position. Students must maintain good academic standing in order to keep the job. Students are responsible for finding and applying for on-campus jobs themselves and must compete with all other applicants.
