On-Campus Employment

Approval Required

F-1 students are eligible for On-Campus employment, including those in their first semester at Marymount. F-1 students do not need to seek special permission to work on campus.

J-1 students or scholars must obtain special permission to work On-Campus before starting any On-Campus employment.

What is On-Campus Employment?

There are two types of employment that count as “On-Campus” employment:

On the school premises

• Work that takes place at Marymount University. The position may be working in a Marymount academic or professional support office, library, dining hall, tutoring center, etc. Also, the position could be working for an on-campus commercial business, like the campus bookstore, as long as the work directly provides services for students.
• Employment located on-campus that does not directly involve services to students (such as construction work) does not qualify as on-campus employment. Examples of work that is not considered On-Campus includes Starbucks and MedStar Urgent Care at the Ballston Center.

Educationally affiliated, off-campus location

• Work for an employer that is contractually affiliated with Marymount is considered On-Campus employment even if the work site is not physically located on the campus (such as a research lab affiliated with Marymount). Please check with an ISSS advisor before working in such a position.

Apply for an On-Campus Job

Students apply for On-Campus Employment through Workday. Helpful information can be found at Marymount’s Jobs On Campus Student Employee Hub.

Work Hours

F-1 students are eligible to work On-Campus up to 20 hours per week while school is in session.

When school is not in session (such as during winter and summer school breaks), students may work more than 20 hours per week if they are registered for the next required semester.

Social Security Number

Once a student has an offer of employment for an On-Campus job, they will need to apply for a Social Security Number (SSN) from the U.S. Social Security Administration. To help facilitate obtaining a social security number, students request a letter from ISSS that the student may show at their social security office appointment.
