F-1 Status Students

On-campus Employment

As an F-1 student, you are only authorized to work on-campus at FSU for up to 20 hours per week during Fall and Spring semesters. (20 hours per limit is the total limit for ALL positions held on-campus. For example- you work 15 hours at the FSU Library, you would only have a remaining 5 hours available for another on-campus position.) You may work more than 20 hours on-campus only during university breaks or summer semester. Summer is not your first or final semester of study. You do not need any special authorization to work on campus. If you have any doubt that your position is considered “on-campus”, please contact an CGE advisor before beginning employment.

• If you do not already have a US social security number, you must apply for a social security number. See the section on Social Security.
• If you work on campus, you must also submit certain biographical and immigration information through Glacier, an on-line program which determines the correct payroll deductions for foreign nationals for FSU. Look for an email from Arctic International or Glacier. It will tell you how to login and will give you a password. It is important to follow the directions in this email to avoid tax penalties or unnecessary deductions from your paycheck!
• A listing of on-campus positions can be found on the Career Center website, http://career.fsu.edu and on the FSU Human Resources website http://hr.fsu.edu.
