On-Campus Employment

F-1 students are eligible for on-campus employment which is limited to 20 hours per week while classes are in session, and full-time (more than 20 hours/week) ONLY during official school breaks (winter break, spring break, summer vacation). ELI students are not eligible for employment.

 

Step 1: Complete the online Student Employment Application.

Step 2: Notify your DSO that you are looking for employment.

Step 3: Once you have a verbal agreement to be hired by someone, have your future employer complete the International Hiring Form and return this to your DSO (Lindsay Gomez) in Butler Hall/Admissions Office. Your employer will also need to contact Financial Aid to verify employment.

Step 4: Get a letter of verifcation from your DSO to confirm your enrollment at Carson-Newman.

Step 5: Take your DSO letter of verification, passport, I-94 card, original Form I-20, and International Hiring Form to the Social Security Office to obtain your social security card.

**DO NOT begin working until you have received your social security card!**

Please refer to the Student Employment Handbook on the Financial Aid page for more details about the hiring procedures, required paperwork, student responsibilities, etc.
