Possible locations for approved On Campus Employment for International Students<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

As an international student in F-1 and J-1 immigration status, you are authorized to work on the Boston University campus during your program of study. There are two main types of positions and ways to be hired that qualify as on-campus employment at BU. The first is work that is paid directly by Student Employment Office (SEO). The second are positions that are paid by a third party but are jobs that are meant for BU students and serving the BU community. If you are unsure if the job you would like to apply for qualifies as on campus employment, please check with SEO and ISSO before moving forward to avoid complications with your immigration record. Please note that \u201cquickie\u201d jobs may or may not qualify as on-campus employment.<\/p>\n
