Can I work on campus at Yale University as an international student during my studies?

This question has been answered by guest blogger Monica Weeks, Assistant Director of the Yale Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS). OISS is the key resource on immigration matters for international students and scholars studying and researching at Yale University.

Yes, F-1 and J-1 students are eligible work up to 20 hours a week on the Yale campus, when school is in session. During periods of recess, such as winter and summer breaks, the number of allowable work hours increases to 40. No special permission is required for on campus employment by F-1 students. J-1 students will receive a letter authorizing them for on campus employment when they check in at the Office of International Students and Scholars.
