ON-CAMPUS Employment

International students are eligible for on-campus employment for a maximum of 20 hours per week while classes are in session. Students may work full-time during breaks and over the summer. Before beginning on-campus employment you must receive authorization from ISS. Once you are offered a position, bring your offer letter to the ISS for approval.

To find an on-campus position

Visit departments around the college to inquire about any openings. Stop by the Career Development Center in Room B-114 for job openings on campus and for eligibility requirements. Also, please remember that “on campus” means any CUNY school. You may also qualify to be a tutor in an academic field, depending on your grade point average (GPA).

Please note that you are authorized to work on campus and also choose to engage in Practical Training (OPT or Pre-OPT), per ICE regulations the total number of hours for OTP and on-campus employment combined can not exceed 20 hours while school is in session. You may work full-time during school break or session 2 if you are not taking the class. Once you finish your program, you may no longer work on campus unless you are authorized through Optional Practical Training and the work is directly related to the course of study you have completed OR if you have been issued a new I-20 for a second program that will begin the following quarter.
