F-1 Immigration Rules to Follow

  • Employment at UW Seattle, UW Tacoma and Cascadia are not permitted. On-campus is defined as the UW Bothell campus.
  • Your paycheck must come from UW Bothell. Thus, working at establishments on campus, such as Subway, is not allowed.
  • You are permitted to work on the UW Bothell campus for up to 20 hours/week during an academic quarter.
  • During annual vacation (quarter off) and between quarters, you may work up to 40 hours/week on campus.
  • You are allowed to work on-campus only while you are a student (this immigration regulation is different than the UW policy for student employment). After you graduate, you must have approved OPT work authorization from USCIS to work in the U.S. Talk with your International Student Advisor if you have further questions.
  • You must follow all employment regulations governing your visa status. If you have questions, come talk with an International Student Advisor.
