On most international campuses manual work is an obligatory part of the educational program. Each student is expected to work from four to eight hours a week for no pay. This is true of all students on the campus. Students may not simply pay money to the school to avoid this work obligation.
Work is considered an important part of the educational process.
This is true of most overseas Seventh- day Adventist campuses. Institutional costs and budgets are made on the plan that each student will be working to help pay for part of the program without receiving remuneration. Beyond that time if a student chooses to work, there may be employment that will be available at regular student wages. The wages earned by these jobs will only provide money for incidentals. It will not be large enough to cover student accounts or travel.
