Employment
As an international student, your F-1 visa status allows you to work on campus, part-time (maximum 19.5 hours per week). Students enrolled at Seattle Colleges can work at any of campus locations, as well as the Seattle Colleges District Office.
Students are not allowed to work (paid or unpaid) off campus unless they have been authorized to do so. The U.S. government takes working illegally very seriously, and it could result in the loss of F-1 visa status. Before accepting any kind of employment, make sure it is allowed by the F-1 regulations. In general, jobs require good communication skills in English.
