Work Study
The F-1 or J-1 visa allows on-campus employment for a maximum of 20 hours per week while classes are in session, and up to 40 hours per week during university vacation periods.
Such work-study positions cannot be guaranteed, however, so applicants cannot depend on student employment as a source of financial support.
International students may work off-campus only with the permission of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). For information about off-campus employment for F-1or J-1 students, contact Misty Brown Lanham (mbrown@murraystate.edu) or Dr Bill Mckibben (bmckibben@murraystate.edu).
A variety of student work positions are available at MSU, and IIS will assist students in learning more about employment options during orientation after arrival.
