On-Campus Employment
Students who are maintaining F or J status are eligible to work on campus. Work performed on the school premises is "on-campus" employment as long as the employment provides direct services to students. If you are unclear if a job would be considered “on-campus” employment, please check with the Buckman Center.
Students are permitted to work a maximum of 20 hours per week while classes are in session and full-time during holidays or school vacation periods, provided the student intends to enroll full-time during the academic term following the vacation period. This 20 hour total includes hours spent working on an assistantship. For example, a one-third time assistantship is equivalent to 13 hours of work; therefore, the student can work a maximum of 7 additional hours on campus to total 20 hours.
On-campus employment is not permitted after graduation (other than with work permission through Optional Practical Training) unless the student has been accepted, received an I-20, and is planning to enroll in a new educational program at the Rhodes College.
Off-Campus Employment is not permitted under any circumstances for students maintaining F or J status.
