Employment

To remain in status, it is extremely important that you follow the Federal regulations regarding employment.  It is a serious violation of your F-1 status to work without authorization.

In many cases international students must contact the Office of International Services in Franklin Hall 306 to get work authorization before accepting employment.  Never work without first receiving authorization!

Please select the appropriate link below for more information regarding the various types of employment authorization:

  • On-Campus Employment—Employment performed on campus and paid by Indiana University
  • Curricular Practical Training—Off-campus employment authorization for work done in your field of study while enrolled as a student
  • Optional Practical Training—Off-campus employment authorization granted by USCIS for work done in your field of study, usually following graduation
  • Economic Hardship—Off-campus employment authorization granted by USCIS based on severe, unexpected economic hardship
