20 hours a week if they are enrolled at least half time. 40 hours per week if they are enrolled less than half time. Student employees may hold more than one job as long as the combined hours do not exceed the hourly restrictions.
*International Students – Per U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services regulations, failure to comply with the policy is a violation of the student’s visa status that could ultimately result in deportation.
