On-Campus Employment
On-campus employment is work that F-1 students whose status is Active in SEVIS may apply for. On-campus employment is specific to work that takes place on campus or at an off-campus location that is educationally affiliated with the school. Examples of on-campus employment include working at a university bookstore or cafeteria.
Students in F-1 status may work up to 20 hours per week on campus while enrolled in a full course of study (12 credits for undergraduates, 9 credits for graduate students, 3 credits for PhD students working on dissertation) and otherwise maintaining status. You may only work on the campus having jurisdiction over your SEVIS record. As a full-time student, on-campus employment is "incident to your F-1 status", which means you do not need permission to work on-campus up to 20 hours per week. You will need to show your employer documents which establish your identification and employment eligibility, as listed on the I-9 form that all new employees must complete. There is no exception to the 20 hour per-week maximum, even if the employment is a teaching or project assistantship. On-campus employment may exceed 20 hours per week during vacation periods (winter, spring, and summer breaks) for students who have maintained full-time status before the vacation and intend to register for the following semester.

- F-1 Students are eligible for Departmentally funded on campus jobs. If the job posting does not specify how the income is funded please contact the office hiring for that position.
- To request an OIP On-Campus Employment Verification Letter (SSN Letter) to apply for a social security number, please submit a Letter Request Form via the International Student and Scholar Portal.
- After receiving the social security number, students are required to present the social security card to the Registrar Office (Bayley Hall Rm 110) so that the information can be forwarded to Seton Hall Payroll for tax purposes. For students who already have a social security number, you do not need another one. However, you must go to the Registrar Office to present your social secuirty card.
