On-Campus Employment

Students with an I-20 authorizing them to attend the University of Minnesota are eligible to work on the campus. Students transferring to the University of Minnesota must have their SEVIS record transferred and possess a University of Minnesota I-20 to be eligible to work on the campus.

Off-Campus Employment – Types of Authorization

All off-campus work requires work authorization. This includes:

  • Required, paid internships off the campus
  • Summer off-campus employment

Please Note:
Receiving a benefit in exchange for services rendered (i.e., free room/board for babysitting or free rent for being a caretaker of an apartment building) is considered to be employment and would require work permission. This type of work is only authorized by Off Campus Work Permission Based on Unforeseen Financial Change or Special Student Relief.
