While most of the student employment regulations are not different for national and international
students, there are some differences:

• International students are mandated by their visa status to maintain full-time enrollment
  each academic semester. International student employees must get approval for any
  exemption to this regulation from both the Romero International Center and their
  academic department.
• Because international students can only work on campus, it is very important that they
  understand the student employment guidelines and do not become ineligible to work due
  to violations of these guidelines. They may seek employment with non-Xavier employers of
  auxiliary services. They may also work during breaks (Winter, Spring, Summer).
• International students must come to Student Employment Office to fill-out the appropriate tax forms based on treaties with their home countries and to facilitate securing a Social Security Card from the Office of Social Security Administration.

Graduate Students
A Graduate Assistant (GA) is a graduate student who has signed a contract with the University to perform a certain number of hours of work in return for a stated compensation. In addition, a tuition remission award is also granted to GA’s. GA’s may work up to the number of hours indicated in their contract and within the dates indicated on their contract.

Tuition Remission or Tuition Exchange Students
The University’s policy regarding tuition remission/exchange students working on campus is that the student may only work during between semester breaks (fall, spring and summer). During the academic semesters they may seek employment with on-campus non-Xavier employers of auxiliary services like Bookstore and Campus Dining.
