There’s an employment limit of 20 hours per week during academic terms. During annual vacation periods, you’re welcome to work full-time. This 20-hour weekly limit applies to all on-campus employment, whether it’s a teaching assistantship, paid research, or any other hired position.

It is important that you understand and plan ahead for the impact any of these actions may have on your ability to continue working at the University.

The affiliation between the University of Rochester and the employer needs to be negotiated and established according to the policies of the relevant University division or department, not ISO.

Once the affiliation is set up, you can request a copy of the agreement from the appropriate campus office as needed. Remember to get a formal offer letter from the employer and complete the ISO authorization form (PDF) to document that the position qualifies as on-campus employment. The procedures and appropriate campus contacts may vary throughout the University, so always feel free to reach out for guidance.

If you’re unsure if a particular activity or award (fellowship, stipend, etc.) counts as employment, reach out to your department. When you need to document your authorization for on-campus employment, you’ll be asked to show proof of your F-1 status as sponsored by the University of Rochester.

This benefit is available immediately, and the job you take on-campus doesn’t need to be related to your field of study. You’re permitted to work for any University of Rochester employer, including all University campuses, divisions, and departments (and potentially Eastman affiliates).

Sometimes, work performed off campus can be viewed and authorized as on-campus employment for F-1 students. At the University of Rochester, this is called On/Off employment.

If you’re an Eastman School of Music student, your programs often involve affiliations with area churches, schools, and other arts organizations. These employers are known as ESM Affiliates. The Office of Academic Affairs manages all affiliation agreements.
