On-Campus Employment
Current Wellesley students in F-1 and J-1 status who are maintaining valid status may be eligible for on-campus employment. On-campus employment is limited to less than 20 hours/week while school is in session and can be full-time during official college breaks.
All international students who are employed in the U.S. will be subject to state and federal taxes. Please see the section on Taxes for more information.
Please note that guidelines have changed due to COVID-19, we recommend to review the on-campus employment instructions below for updated guidance. Please contact the Slater International Center, if you have any questions slatercenter@wellesley.edu.
Please note that MIT work is not considered on-campus employment. In order to work at MIT on a UROP, you must be pre-authorized for CPT by Slater before you begin employment.
