On-Campus Employment & Social Security

Employment

Students who are here on F-1 visas may not work outside 皇家华人. You are eligible to work on campus provided that it does not interfere with your studies.

During the academic year, you are allowed to work up to 20 hours a week. During spring, winter, and summer break, you can work up to 40 hours a week.

Permission to work outside the college is granted by ISSS and USCIS, in this case, under the Curricular Practical Training (CPT) and/or the Optional Practical training programs (OPT).

Social Security Number

All international students who work on campus must apply for a Social Security Number. Having a social security number does not give you permission to work off campus. Students who are not working are not eligible to apply for a social security number.

Once you receive a job on campus, ISSS will work with you to obtain your social security card. This requires a trip to the Social Security Office in Cody. You will need to bring the following documents:

• Passport
• I-20
• I-94 card
• Social security application (provided by ISSS)
• Employment letter from NWC (provided by ISSS)
