Student Employment | International Students

International students may work on-campus at GSEP. In order to comply with all federal employment and tax policies, it is necessary to ensure the following procedures have been properly completed. Please also visit the Office of International Student Services (OISS) information regarding On-Campus Employment.

If you are still looking for a job, please visit Handshake via your wavenet account. Once you have been offered and accepted a position with a faculty or staff member, please make an appointment with the GSEP Student Employment Office. Your faculty or staff supervisor should begin the hiring process by filling out an Assistantship Agreement. It is important to realize that an international student cannot begin working for the University prior to completing all employment requirements. There are no exceptions. This process can take some time, so we encourage you to be proactive and patient.
