On-Campus Employment
F-1 or J-1 students may engage in part-time (up to 20 hours per week) employment on the OSU campus while classes are in session. Students may work full-time (more than 20 hours per week) in between terms and during the summer vacation as long as they plan to be a full-time student the following term. If you are offered on-campus employment, you will need to apply for a social security number and complete paperwork with OSU's Human Resources and Payroll Office. J-1 students must also obtain written work authorization from their Program Sponsor prior to beginning any type of on-campus employment .
