To remain eligible for most types of F-1 employment you must limit your work to no more than 20 hours per week, while school is in session. Work on-campus is usually permissible if it meets certain requirements. INS regulations state that this employment is automatically authorized for any student in lawful F-1 status. Check with our foreign student advisor for school requirements and procedures governing the authorization of on-campus employment. On-campus work performed for our school is always acceptable, whether it is employment in an academic department, the library, the computer center or the housing office.
Work required by a scholarship, fellowship, or assistantship is also acceptable.
Work performed on the school's grounds or premises for outside contractor or firm is considered to be on-campus employment. The employer must provide direct services to Barry students. An example of this employment is the Marriott Food Services or Campus Bookstore. For employment to be so defined, there must be an official relationship between our school and the off-campus employer. The employment must be an important part of your program of study.
