On-Campus Employment

On-Campus Employment

As an international student, you are allowed to work up to 20 hours per week while school is in session, and 40 hours per week when school is not in session (such as during summer and winter break) at Seattle University. To find listings of on-campus jobs and volunteer opportunities, please visit Handshake. On-campus jobs are posted under the employer called Seattle University On-Campus Employment. Learn more about Getting Hired On Campus on the Student Employment website. Note that international students are not eligible to work on other college campuses, but only at Seattle University.

Handshake

International students are eligible to work in nearly all jobs across campus and all students are eligible to work on campus, regardless of work-study eligibility. If you can see a job posting on Handshake and the job fits your skills and interests, then you can apply!

Working on campus at SU does not require getting any written permission from the International Student Center or United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and you are eligible to work as soon as you begin your studies at Seattle University and have received your Continued Attendance I-20. If you get a job offer on campus and do not yet have a Social Security Number (SSN), you will need to apply for one before you begin work. You will also need to complete new hire paperwork with Student Employment - Read more here. Upon graduation, you must end employment at your on-campus job.

Feel free to reach out to the ISC at isc@seattleu.edu if you have other questions regarding on-campus employment.
