Understand Work Authorization, OPT, CPT and SSNs!
|
|
|
International students in F-1 status are authorized to work on campus and must follow regulations for working hours.
A Social Security Number (SSN) is a nine-digit number used to report your wages from work to the government and to determine eligibility for Social Security benefits and tax filing. If you are employed in the U.S., you need a Social Security number to work. However, you do not need the Social Security Number before you start working. Once you receive a job offer you can apply for your Social Security Number.
|
| |
|
Note: F-1 students are prohibited to work off campus unless they receive authorization for:
-
Curricular Practical Training (CPT is for currently-enrolled F-1 students who wish to engage in off-campus employment that is directly related to their major field of study, e.g. an internship), or
-
Optional Practical Training (OPT is for students to gain experience in their major field of study after completion of program requirements)
Learn more about the OPT process at an info session presented by ISSS staff. Register to attend OPT info session from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm on Tuesday, Oct. 4 via Zoom.
