Student Employment Eligibility
To be eligible for student employment, students must be enrolled in a degree-seeking program, taking a minimum of 6 credits. All student employees are required to have a completed I-9 on file with the Office of Human Resources prior to beginning work and have a valid Social Security number.
Form I-9:
When completing the I-9, students must provide original, unexpired documents from the Acceptable Document List established by the Department of Homeland Security. Documents must be original and unexpired. Pictures and copies are strictly prohibited.

Federal Work Study
Federal Work Study offers part-time employment opportunities for students with financial need, enabling them to earn money to offset educational expenses. Each year, the government allocates funds to the College for the Federal Work Study program. These funds are specifically designated to cover student wages. If the student exceeds their Federal Work-Study allotment, the additional wages will be funded by institutional funds.
It’s important to note that being awarded a Federal Work Study does not guarantee employment and the College does not facilitate job placement for students with a work-study award. Students are encouraged to actively seek student employment opportunities via Workday.
For more information about Federal Work Study, please contact the Office of Financial Aid.

International Student Employment
Students holding an F-1 visa are eligible to work on campus. Students on F-1 visas must understand the rules and regulations of their visa requirements prior to engaging in any work related activities. Employment is defined as “work performed in exchange for compensationâ€. Work must be performed in the United States, remote work in the student’s home country is strictly prohibited.
Social Security Number:
F-1 visa holders who have secured on-campus employment are required to obtain a Social Security Number (SSN) if they currently do not have one. To apply for an SSN, the student must visit the local Social Security Administration (SSA) office with documentation such as their passport, I-20, most recent I-94 and three letters from the College verifying the student has received a valid job offer. F-1 students can apply for a Social Security Number no earlier than 30 days before the start date of their on-campus employment.
The Office of Human Resources will permit international students to work while their SSN application processes which may take up to 3-4 weeks.
The requirement of obtaining a Social Security Number is to report earnings to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Upon job offer, Human Resources will assist international students in applying for a Social Security Number.
Tax Considerations:
International students are subject to federal income taxes, unless the student has qualified for a tax treaty exemption. There is no state income tax in Florida.
Tax Treaties:
A tax treaty is an agreement between two or more countries that determines which types of income can be taxed by which country. Types of Income include wages, compensation, prizes, awards or scholarships. Should a student qualify for a tax treaty, they may be eligible for a federal income tax exemption on specified types of income outlined in the tax treaty.
The college utilizes Glacier, an online tax compliance system to determine tax treaty eligibility.
Work Hours:
Students on an F-1 visa are permitted to work up to 20 hours per week. Per ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ College policy, international students cannot work more than 20 hours per week during periods of non-enrollment or winter and spring breaks.

Students may also contact the College’s Designated School Official through the Office of International Affairs.
