What to do after you find a job:

* Once you find an on-campus job, please have your supervisor create a letter of employment for you to bring to our office during walk-in hours to receive the appropriate work authorization forms. Please click on this link to view the correct format of this letter and to take to your supervisor to have them use it as a reference to follow when they create your specific letter. If needed, you will use this same letter to apply for an SSN, in addition to a second letter given to you from the International Office.
 

* Student must come to the International Center and meet with an adviser in order to receive formal written authorization. You must receive this authorization before you begin working in order to maintain their status. Failure to obtain a work eligibility form will result in loss of status.
