All student employees are limited to working no more than 20 hours per week in on campus jobs during the academic year (this includes exam periods).

During these time periods only, students can work up to 40 hours per week. International Students: Visa restrictions prohibit international students from exceeding 20 hours of work per academic calendar week.
